Breaking up, Internet style

I read in the paper that a couple broke up on the UNC campus after the dude put an ad on Facebook that he was gonna dump his girlfriend in public. I watched the video on YouTube and sure enough, it was all there: an a cappella chorus singing the Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice" (great song, btw), a white trash-esque confrontation, the crowd chanting "Jer-ry! Jer-ry!" and a profanity-laced tirade from the chick who was getting dumped. All on tape.

Well, guess what. It was much too good to be true -- it all was a hoax the guy created to demonstrate the power of social networking. The "couple" wasn't even dating. Damn. It sure is good theater, tho. Check it out.
