These last couple of days have been very interesting for Indonesia and Indonesian people, for Twittersphere and especially for the “victims” – Ariel, LM, CT and so-called “the other girls”.
I have to admit that I had fun reading some gossips regarding this scandal; I even watched the videos (yes, I am guilty!). I guess it is also the reason why Twittersphere has been dominated with topics surrounding the leaking of some of Ariel’s homemade videos.
People were surprised or shocked – some people wanted some more, some people despised it yet they enjoy talking about it. And, of course, there are these people who want to be more valued and respected, thus they try to make a scene out of it. My housemate said “oh come on, don’t make such a big drama out of this! It is just two people humping each other. Nothing wrong about it. Nothing weird about it. What’s different is some people have brain and others don’t.”
Apart from which sides you are in, the bottom-line is everybody enjoys every moment of it, like watching and following Indonesian soap (sinetron), asking ‘who’s next?’, ‘is it real?’, or ‘what will happen to Ariel-LM relationship?’
So, what can we learn from this scandal? What is the morale of the story? I come up with several points that can probably be useful for you, too.
1. Never go out with the bastards!
I honestly believe that at least, one or two out of these 30 something girls that were taped in a scene with Mr. Ariel, they really liked him. They probably thought the he could be the one. But, come on, bastards can never be your ‘the one’!
2. Treat your file carefully
It appeared that Ariel’s laptop was stolen and all the “X files” tapes were saved in his hard disc. So yeah, people, lesson learned. Any dodgy, not-for-public-consumption files should be saved carefully. It would be really stupid to save the “X files” under ‘My Sex Tapes’ folder on the Desktop. If you had any “X Files” saved them in a very secure place, put password to protect, or save them on a CD or USB stick, and put it in a safety box.
Update: My friend added that it is very recommended to remember to encrypt your private data. If you have no clue what the heck 'encrypt' is, click here.
3. Never EVER make sex tapes
This is my personal opinion and personal choice. No, I would never ever make one! And I guess you should consider my opinion. It is too risky. We have seen many evidences where those kinda tapes leaked and went public. Too risky, peepz!
Any more lessons you have learned from this scandal? Share with us. But for Mr Ariel, I wish you all the luck. And, I will write some tips for you, sir, about how to handle this crisis.
