What is it with Brits getting burned by Facebook?  First the head of MI-6 has his vacation photos and other private information out for the world to see thanks to his wife.  Now a couple of teens in Southern England cause a riot when they posted details about their house party on their Facebook page.

Guess what happens when a bunch of bored online teenagers find out about a party on a Saturday night… you guessed it, they want to crash it.  Anybody see Sixteen Candles, House Party 1 thru 3, or Weird Science?

Oh Facebook, you've made life so much more complicated

It took police departments from Hampshire and Surrey, a helicopter and a canine squad had to break up what one neighbor described as, “hundreds of youths – male and female – spilling out onto the street from a party that was being held at the two houses. It escalated into a riot.”

Seva Nurueva, 15, apologised after her friend Jordan Wright placed their party on the social networking site. Miss Nurueva added: “We are really sorry for all the damage we caused.  It was scary – I did not really know what to do. All I did was cry.”

I have two words “privacy settings”.
