Default The modern day power of being connected to each other

We all know already how quick and easy he have now compared to ages back in history (imagine a couple of hundreds years ago when it would take weeks/months for a single letter to be sent!).

The recent story of this 16yo ozzie is a good example (those crazy australians! lol). Basically he simply posted about it on Myspace and sent out a few txts to his mates, the apparent result (if the news articles are to believed, I'm slightly skeptical about the number. 500 seems a tad too high) is that 500 people turned up and caused havoc. Requiring 30 or so police to be called out, including choppers etc etc etc....

Just go ahead and google "Corey Worthington Delaney". Too much crazy awesomeness out there about him to decide on which to mention. But here is a couple of youtube clips to get started:

YouTube - Best Street Party Ever - Parents Yet To Find Out

YouTube - Best Street Party Ever - Parents Yet To Find Out PART 2

This gives a nice little summary:
Crikey - Weekend at Corey's: an idiot's guide to fame - Weekend at Corey's: an idiot's guide to fame

I'll end on this note: he is lucky he is under 18! He probably should avoid the worst of the consequences.
