Here's a lesson for all you YouTubers, Girls Gone Wild, and basically anyone who has ever put their own image online anywhere: pixels never die. Many an aspiring pornstar has learned the hard way that things you do for money or fun when you're young can often come back to haunt you, as Melanie Martinez has just found out. The host of the PBS Kids' program "The Good Night Show," has lost her job after her bosses discovered this mock PSA she once did promoting anal sex as "the smart choice for your future." (We guess there's a second lesson, too: irony is a cruel bitch.) As you can see after the jump, it's not exactly "Ass Whores 12," but when you work in public television the "youthful indiscretion" standard gets a little lower. So while we don't want to discourage you rascals from acting out for the camera - since it provides us with so much entertainment - just be careful out there. Someone from your future is probably watching.
