Sometimes I wonder how people even managed to get into trouble at all prior to the invention of Facebook, so frequent are reports of Facebook-related social injuries, firings, outings, and all-around disasters. The latest in these accounts comes from our darling allies across the ocean in Britain. Recently, a young girl advertised her sweet sixteen birthday party on Facebook, only to have it crashed by glass-throwing hoodlums (yes, there is crime in Britain beyond British dentistry.)

The Daily Mail reports:

A girl's 16th birthday party advertised on Facebook ended in chaos after up to 60 hooded yobs gatecrashed the event.

The private school teen's party, at a community centre in south London, was wrecked after the thugs marched into the venue and refused to leave.

The yobs threw chairs and shouted abuse at the party guests and tucked into food and soft drinks before police were called.

But even when the police arrived the gatecrashers started pelting them with glass bottles from the windows of the community centre…

One youngster at the party, who didn't want to be named, said: 'It was

unbelievable. They (the gang) just walked in and refused to leave.

'They were making fun of everyone and eating and drinking everything. They started throwing chairs and mucking around and when the police came they didn't care they just started throwing bottles at them and laughing.

'It totally ruined the party. My friend is devastated and so upset she put her party on Facebook.'

Let this be a lesson to you, young Facebook-philes. You may think you’re just posting party information, photos of your young mistress, racial slurs, etc., but you must remember Zuckerberg’s Law (Murphy’s Law for the digital age): If anything can go wrong on Facebook, it will. You can throw salt over your shoulder, cross your finger, and carry around dead animal feet, but geek-genius Mark Zuckerberg and his knack for causing melee will always prevail.
