Feel Free To Hook Up With Your Best Friend In Front Of A Bunch Of Digital Cameras, Ladies!

The Daily Pennsylvanian reported yesterday on an alum’s service that will let you know where your scandalous photos are online and attempt to get them taken down, if you pay an extra fee.

ReputationDefender.com was founded by 2004 Penn alum Ross Chanin and “compiles monthly reports detailing the clients’ presence in blogs, social networks like MySpace.com and Facebook.com, online news sources and photo- or video-sharing sites like Flickr.com and YouTube.com.” It costs $10 a month, and another $30 for ReputationDefender.com to attempt to get the offending material removed. (Which, in the case of a legit news article, is impossible.)

So why would people use this service instead of just not taking scandalous pictures? Chanin explains:

“What were dealing with here is ‘micro celebrity,” Chanin said.

Yeah. Micro celebrities can never get those damn citizen paparazzi off their backs.

Scandalous pics online? No worries, service says [Daily Pennsylvanian]
