From AP via SFGate:
“A teenage girl in Germany who forgot to mark her birthday invitation as private on Facebook fled her own party when more than 1,500 guests showed up and around 100 police officers, some on horses, were needed to keep the crowd under control.”
The moral of the story is “Better check your Facebook settings before posting a party invitation online.”
Surprised this doesn’t happen more often, after all, this girl is not alone in lacking a little Facebook savvy.
Read the rest and see a couple of cool photos at: SFGate. Of course people were snapping away on their mobile phones.
