Wow, your peepee is really hard about this, eh? Clue: you didn’t “expose” an “Internet sex hoax.” You read about it being a hoax, and parlayed your “consequences,” which sound about as wild and crazy as a trip to Starbucks, into 15 minutes of wikipedia controversy. Wow, it just doesn’t get much better than this.

Enjoy your little moment in the sunshine, and the blog-whore tag that will inevitably be attached to your name subsequently. All over the net, people will see your name and say “oh yeah, that’s that ass who gamed wikipedia with a vanity page.”
