    I just don't understand some people...

    http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article....entid=14544644

    Why would you drive so far to meet someone you have never even spoken to or had any proof that they existed?? I can't believe people still do this despite the warnings and amount of people who are caught out by this, he was lucky that it wasn't a rapist or murderer!

    But that aside, I have to laugh at the idea of the prank, it was well executed even if it has gone a little too far. As he said, apart from being an idiot he hasn't done anything wrong, so the torrent of abuse he's received for this is was over the top.

    If you wanna see the actual video, it's hosted on break.com here: http://www.break.com/index/dont-meet...facebook1.html (probably NSFW as contains some swearing)

    You know this is more embarassing for the other two than him. It would have taken some significant time of bonding before he went and started driving. He was sincere, they weren't.

    Though, if I were moving away from a town to avoid embarassment, I wouldn't announce my destination!
