25 January 2008

When the news broke yesterday he had 11 friends on Facebook but they steadily deserted him throughout the day. (!!!)
[More:]

Every aspect of this story is incredible, from the sheer magnitude of the fraud and its effects to the minute details like the guy teaching judo to kids. And then there's awesome gossip in the side column. I'm voting 'best internet of the day'.

Moral of the story: If people compare you to Tom Cruise, it's probably a bad thing.

(Also, apparently, "Weathergirl Andrea McLean showed off a warm front as she presented her GMTV bulletin in a tight-fitting yellow top.")
The new social justice! Take someone off your friends list! That'll show him!

(although I imagine there may have been a practical side to that- I bet the media was all over those people for information).

I'm with TPS, I bet the defriending was done out of self interest rather than as a gesture of shunning.

I'm going to friend him and tell the media outrageous lies.

WTF? This is why I must never go near the Daily Mail, it's bad for my blood pressure. Quote from one of his neighbours in France - 'his woman dropped him'. GAH. He was married. femme=wife.

In a world where you have nowhere to run, sometimes you have to stand up and fight for your futures.
