10 Unbelievable Facebook Stories…

I just came across a rather interesting post – 10 Unbelievable Facebook Stories. You see, I regularly bitch, moan and complain that Facebook was put on this earth purely for the purposes of stalking exes, announcing what you had for breakfast, and being bombarded with updates from your mate who spends a bit too much time feeding a virtual goose on Farmville (see HERE).

Apparently not – have a look at the sub-headings of the aforementioned articles:

• The woman who had her Facebook photo stolen and used as advertising in the Czech Republic
• The depressed woman who lost benefits over her Facebook beach photos
• The groom who updated Facebook at the altar during his wedding
• The husband who dumped his wife by Facebook
• The teenager who walked away from assault charges thanks to a Facebook alibi
• The kidnapped kid who found his family after 22 years with help from Facebook
• The boy who set a Facebook poll saying “If I get 1,000,000 I will get the 150 Pokemon tattooed on my back!” He had to hide himself after failing to keep his promise.
• The couple –with the same full name– that got married after meeting through Facebook
• The thirteen year old girl who met a man on Facebook, had sex with him and then hid him in her closet
• The bride-to-be who cancelled the wedding after spotting her fiancée embracing another woman on Facebook

…and perhaps most chilling of all, and not in the orginal article, but rather contributed by a reader:

• Woman murdered by their marital status change on Facebook

And while we’re on the subject of Facebook, I’ve taken a break from demanding that you follow me on Twitter (cough cough @stustake cough cough) to rather use this opportunity to instead demand (plead?) that you become a fan on Facebook – by clicking HERE.

Awesome.

btw: I take no responsibility for the accuracy, or even the vaguest glimmer of truth, relating to the stories mentioned above…
