Be Careful What You Tweet!

Breaking News! Twitter Scandal! Twitter Scandal! Twitter Scandal! Obviously I am extremely interested in the entertainment industry, and I have recently sprung a fascination for Twitter. Well there was a story today that angered me and made me laugh because of the sheer stupidity. Remember my post about reputation management? Well if you don't, I discussed how everything that you post stays on the Internet forever. Don't believe me?  You should because with today's technology even if you posted something 10 minutes ago and deleted it, there's a chance that millions of people have already seen it or even screen captured it. When you post something that could affect you personally, it may damage your reputation. However, the girl in this story not only damaged her reputation, but her future career plans and an episode of a television show. Without further ado, it is time to reveal the story that has made a lot of people quite furious.

It all started when an extra on Fox's hit show "Glee", Nicole Crowther, was doing a Q&A via Twitter. She apparently revealed numerous spoilers during her Q&A. However, one of the biggest spoilers happened when someone asked her about the upcoming prom episode, and she unfortunately revealed who the prom king and queen were going to be. That was one of the biggest mistakes she could have ever made. Before she knew it, the media had gotten a hold of the information. One of the co-creators of "Glee", Brad Falchuk, was furious and took to Twitter.  He said in his tweet, "hope you’re qualified to do something besides work in entertainment…Who are you to spoil something talented people have spent months to create?” It may seem cool that you have all of this information about the show that the average person doesn't know, but one of the main rules when working on set is that you don't reveal information about what you saw or heard until after it has aired.

Crowther later went on to delete the incriminating posts and apologize to Falchuk for her mistakes. Honestly, I don't think she realizes how stupid that was. I'm not a "Glee" fan, but I would be upset if somebody ruined a whole episode for me. Also, there are tons of people who worked on the episode that are upset because what may have been a magical surprise is ruined. Remember, it's okay to share your thoughts on Facebook, Twitter, & blogs, but be careful because what you post may come back to bite you in the ___.  I would post a particular word, but I don't want it to haunt me later. :-)
