RSS Daily Gawker Gossip News - 400 Teens Destroy $8.7 Million Home After Facebook Party Invite [Facebook]

I thought the story of Australian party host Corey Worthington drove home the lesson: Never ever advertise a wild party at your parents' house online. But after a 16-year-old girl invited a big chunk of Spain to her parents' mansion, a rumor spread among the 400 attendees that the parents were getting divorced and wouldn't mind everyone trashing the house. So they did!

According to the London Times, "guests" took $12,000 of jewelry and clothes before cops broke up the party a bit after midnight.

In the invitation, host Jodie Hudson said "Theres gone be a lot of alcohol an amazing DJ." A search for that phrase gives me nothing on Facebook or Bebo (a larger international social networking site), so we still need to find a copy of the invitation that started it all.
