So, let's say that you had built up your nick around the internet places, you got some hits on google, etc etc etc.
Then you get drunk and post a video on youtube, and some how, the next morning, your friends are shaking you by the arm saying 'hey hey come look at this! it's YOU', and you are instantly thrust into your 15 minutes of fame without anyone asking you about it.
Would this freak you out, or would you take in stride?
