Facebook Fail: 1,600 Turn Up to Girl's 16th Birthday Party
by Lesley Kennedy
Jun 8th 2011

It was an invite list that would have put the birthday girls and boys from MTV's "My Super Sweet 16" to shame.

Only thing was, this German teen didn't actually mean to invite thousands of people to her birthday bash. MSNBC reports the girl, only identified as Thessa, accidentally made her Facebook party invitation public, and 15,000 folks RSVP'd.

Thessa canceled the party when she realized she'd forgotten to make the invite private, but 1,600 revelers still showed up at her house in Hamburg, according to the news site.

The girl's parents called police, and more than 100 officers reportedly took control.

"I'm so terribly sorry, I didn't want this to happen at all," Thessa tells a German newspaper.

"When I was sitting with my grandmother on the sofa and heard what was going on I was totally shocked. A friend said that bottles were being thrown and fences being broken down. I felt terrible."

So terrible, in fact, MSNBC reports, she's ditching Facebook altogether.

I saw that story on the news. That would be an interesting spin on the sitcom cliche of "the parents are out of town, the kids want to have an innocent party and it gets out of control".

Smart girl she's ditching facebook. To bad most teens lack the intelligence to do the same.

Say what you will but that would have turned out to be the awesomest party ever. I would have used the opportunity to turn into Roger/Scotch Bingington from the spring break episode of American Dad.

There is one positive aspect to this. If all those people who showed up brought a gift, it would have been a birthday not to forget.

I'm getting a sense of deja vu. Didn't something like this happen before... like several months ago?
