I was killing time on facebook recently and clicked on a mate's status update. Not a proper mate, just someone I met once through a friend and got on with. That doesn't matter...it lead me to the true and tragic story of MC Sptifire.
MC Spitfire was a drum n' bass MC a few years back who got in some kind of a feud with another MC of the same ilk. Their beef lead to the unknown 'beefee' luring MC Spitfire into a webcam chat under the pretence of being an ex girlfriend of his.
Despite having no return webcam feed of his own, MC Spitfire was convinced enough of her identity to masturbate on his own webcam feed, even going so far as to stick a finger up his own butt on camera. Sure enough, the guy posing as this girl subsequently posted this footage. All the details, incl pics are here

I don't know anything about him, drum and bass, mcing etc but it seems from the stuff I've read on the internet that his work as an MC was completely ruined from then on in and I was thinking to myself...how many professions would this damage to that extent?
If you were a celebrity chef, actor or comedian then doing this on camera would be pretty bad, but would it devastate your entire career to the extent that it seems to for poor Mr Spitfire? Probably not. Plenty of people have been caught out on webcams before, but I don't think it's ever been as graphic as actually fingering their own assholes.
Other professions affected to that extent by fingering footage...
MP? Yes
Teacher? Yes
Lawyer? Yes
Footballer? No, I doubt it. You'd get shit off the fans probably for a year or two then it would get forgotten about. I believe there's internet footage of keeper Thomas Sorenson getting far worse done to him floating about and it hasn't done him too much harm.
Comedian? No. (would be interesting to see how Stuart Lee would deal with it though.)
Actor? Not really (unless you were someone like Steven Seagal. I think he'd be screwed. It probably wouldn't do Danny Dyer too many favours either)
Director? No. They have historically got away with far, far worse.
Beyond positions of high moral responsibility it seems like the reason this would be so destructive to a high profile person's life and career is if they had a particular responsibility for being 'macho', which I guess drum n bass MC's do. I'm also guessing there aren't too many openly gay ones.
If footage had emerged of MC Spitfire slapping a girl around, bullying bullying old people or something similarly reprehensible, would he have had to cancel all of his gigs the way he had to? probably not. Chris Brown still gigs yet this guy has apparently completely disappeared from a comunity he was having success in.
I guess there's something about sticking your fingers up yourself for sexual pleasure in the public eye that absolutely rules you out of being a credible MC
