Aussie teen billed fined for Internet rave
Careful what you stick on MySpace
AN Aussie teen has been fined £9,000 after he made the mistake of posting the fact he was having a party on his MySpace page.
Corey Delaney, 16, whose parents were out of town, decided to throw a party and made a reference to it on his MySpace page.
More than 500 people turned up at his
Melbourne house. Of course you can't
fit that many people into a house and the wild party spilled out into the
streets.
After a while, the local plod were called and were soon involved with a brawl
with party goers.
More than 30 coppers and a police dog squad were called to the party but instead of a warm welcome and a glass of fruit punch they met with hundreds of teenagers, some throwing beer bottles at police cars and damaging property.
Victorian state Police Chief Commissioner Christine Nixon was so miffed about the way coppers were treated that she wanted to send Delaney a damages bill.
Any sympathy anyone might have for Delaney sailed out of the window when he was interviewed on telly saying that it was the best party ever,
He admitted he had invited a few people, but could not remember how the party started. Odd really because I thought a good party was one that you couldn’t remember how it finished.

so
sick of hearing about this kid!! in Australia the media is going crazy. He's just a little twerp. If he hadn't of used *CUE MEDIA KEYWORD* MySpace to talk to his friends he would not nearly be as famous.Lets all stop giving him the attention he craves.
yay
that is so kewl.b
I wish I had MySpace way back when
Damn we could have had some great bushbashes when I was a kid if I had that to advertise the parties we had when I was 16. $9000 fine for a 16 year old I think is a little much. Do all these people have such short memories of their teens years. What is his addy I would send him $50 to help the out chap and I bet he would have got lucky if the cops didnt show up. It will be one to tell his grand children.
