If you have been on Facebook in the past 24 hours, you would have seen all these groups to go to a party for someone named Kate.

I decided to look it up and I found this article on KnowYourMeme.com

If you are confused by the mayhem check it out.

Was it originally meant to be a joke or did the real deal go horribly wrong?

Spectrum guests, please reply and comment.

Are you going to Kate's birthday?

North St., Adelaide, Australia 5000 is too far away for me, so no can't go.

I think it was a "real deal" that went wrong since there's lots of naïve people on facebook that can't keep track of their privacy settings.

Some even accept people they don't even know with all their private info and pictures. 400+ FB friends, ya, ok.

Yeah. I don't get why people add people they don't know.

Only exception for me is Spectrum people, but that took me a while before I decided to do that.

Adelaide is for townies

Well it is going to be packed for Kate's birthday

You have to come.

bahaha

Of course I'm going to Kate's...
If I can find a way to get to Adelaide

THE party to end all parties has ended a fizzer. Despite 72,000 RSVPs only a handful of bored teens turned up.

Unveiled as a hoax,"Kate's Birthday Party" was concocted by Adelaide internet prankster David Thorne, who has come under fire for risking the arrival of a riot-sized crowd in a quiet Adelaide street.

But the small group of teens and the three police officers who turned up failed to create the feared melee.

The officers were on standby at North St, Adelaide, from about 9pm, but left an hour later when the street became deserted.

Mr Thornecreated the hoax event last weekend on Facebook but it was later taken down.

However the demise of the original event has only spurred on its fans, who have created more than 500 extra pages in the spirit of "Kate's Party".



They included: "Is going to try to get with Kate at Kate's Party", "We met at Kate's Party", "Kate's party would have gone off" and "Where did all these Kate's party groups come from!?"

One teenager claimed he had created one of the Facebook groups and that he and his friends were hoping for a big attendance.

"We're just seeing how many people will come," he said.

The group left a few minutes before the police.

That is sad. Mind you, if I was in Adelaide, I would have totally gone to the street.

I wonder what the party in the city yesterday would have been like...
