The Beastie Boys had to fight for their right to party; we haven't heard any songs about Thessa, a 16 year old girl in Germany, having to engage in fisticuffs to earn her celebratory privileges, but we might next year. What should have been an otherwise pleasant, probably mildly boring 16th birthday party for the girl took a turn for the awesome when she forgot to set her Facebook birthday invitation to private. Next thing you know, 15,000 had RSVP'd.
It's a good thing she didn't by hors d' oeuvres. The New York Daily News reports that 13,500 of the 15,000 people who said they'd be there didn't bother to show up. Oh, wait, neither did Thessa or her family – they ran for the hills before the event, probably when they calculated the cost of 15,000 stuffed mushrooms.
Thessa's disappearance left a crew of 100 police officers to handle the crowd of 1,500 on their own. Despite the crush of people, police report everything went smoothly as party goers politely milled around for their own right to party.

Is anyone else reminded of that Australian doucher that had a party at his house because his parents weren't home? The kid was the same age as this Thessa girl, and he managed an almost similar crowd. Except his party was loud, out of control, and turned violent until the cops showed up to put an end to it

Unless I missed that one, I think you're referring to the one in the UK. The kid didn't care that his parent's house was trashed, etc. He was a chav if I ever saw one!

she "forgot"
If I have a kid that "forgets" and does this. Facebook account is being deleted (or whatever popular social network at the time), and all internet access at home is revoked.

The stupidity of some people. Some kids should never have the internet at all. Anyhow, if my child did something as dumb as that, they would not even have a computer, or any other internet connected device at all.
I was thinking to myself, who the hell goes to some stranger's party on FaceBook? Those people must be desperate! He he, only in Germany!
