Political Lessons: 8 things not to do that WILL go viral on the internet

  1. DO NOT anger Dan Savage by comparing homosexual sex to beastiality. (SEE Santorum.com. No, this is not Rick Santorum’s official campaign website. It’s Dan Savage’s website and ranks higher in Google than the candidate’s official website.)
  2. DO NOT forget to buy your name as a URL. (SEE newtgingrich.com which is really StopRomneysPiousBaloney.com. This is not the website of the presidential candidate.)
  3. DO NOT forget to buy the negative URLs that could be connected to you. (SEE newtgingrichlies.com)
  4. DO NOT admit you don’t know how to use email. (As did John McCain in the 2008 presidential campaign.)
  5. DO NOT run anti-gay ads wearing the same jacket Heath Ledger wore on Brokeback Mountain. (SEE Rick Perry’s anti gay ad and it’s many parodies)
  6. DO NOT make off the cuff “facts” that people can check within minutes. (SEE ALL CANDIDATES and most office holders.)
  7. DO NOT try to make a high school student with a twitter account apologize for calling the Governor of Kansas a jerk. (SEE #heblowsalot on Twitter and the resulting coverage of the incident.)
  8. DO NOT post pictures of your junk on Twitter. (And even if it’s accident, don’t email pictures like this AT ALL.) (See former Rep. Anthony Weiner.)
