Okay, so we're 99.9 percent sure this a hoax, but the story simply won't die.
According to
the tale circulating around the Inter-Webs with this photo, 18-year-old Elizabeth Frisinger, accidentally texted her father to brag about losing her virginity on a beach. Of course, 'Dad' wasn't very impressed -- you can see the alleged conversation above.
Have you ever accidentally sent an embarrassing text message to somebody?| Yes | 7339 (42.7%) |

| No | 9022 (52.4%) |
|---|
| I'm not sure | 844 (4.9%) |

All that said, the story isn't all that far fetched. We've
texted the wrong person more than once, even before picking up the
iPhone with its IM-style threaded text messages. Fake or not, the moral of the story is clear -- before you send anything of a sensitive nature via SMS, make sure you're sending it to the right person. [From:

Update: Alas, it's all a hoax. "Elizabeth Frisinger?" The image is actually of actress Janna Beth, as revealed on
Zimbio.

Top Optical Illusions on the Web
Facebook is a great venue for humiliating oneself with ranting and raving, but, like most things, people can take things too far. Give someone a soapbox (or in this case, a Facebook group) and there are sure to be others crazy enough to follow them. Here are some examples of Facebook groups that crossed the line and were banned from the site.
Assasinate Evo Morales
Here's a good way to get your group banned -- call for the assassination of a political leader. Titled 'Global Collection to Hire a Sharpshooter to Liquidate Evo Morales' was taken down by Facebook since it bans threatening violence. No surprises here.

Surrey, BC Terrorist Group
A Facebook group supporting the International Sikh Youth Federation, a banned terrorist organization, was taken down by Canadian Police. Authorities were tipped off to the group because its page depicted a young person holding a prohibited gun, which was eventually traced back to 49-year old Bahadur Sandhur. Police seized it and two others when they investigated his home.
Dead Babies Group
Facebook took down a group called 'Dead Babies Make Me Laugh' after the UK Sun was flooded with outraged calls and emails. A running joke on campuses, the group included fake anecdotes about killing babies, but mothers weren't laughing even though the group was created and classified as being "just for fun."
I Need Sex Group
Laura Michaels of Bristol, England, created a Facebook group called 'I Need Sex.' According to the UK Sun, the group had more than 100 members after being up for only one hour. Michaels claims to have ended up sleeping with 50 of the group's members -- literally half of the group. Facebook opposes this type of personals-ad use, so the group was taken down.
KKK group
Facebook recently shut down a group called the 'Isle of Man KKK.' The group called for the elimination of newcomers from the UK island and featured a picture of a hooded Ku Klux Klan member. Thankfully, Facebook's terms of service prohibits content that is hateful or threatening.

Oh please- if every parent of a college-age kid who had sex ordered them home, the airlines would be flying 24-7. It would have been a better hoax if her age was given as 16 or 17.

Too bad she didn't send him a short video clip of the event!
Now THAT would be VERY difficult to explain.

Orel Hershiser was simply un-hitable in the 1988 World Series. I have never seen any pitcher more dominant at that time.

Oh, sorry. I sent that to the wrong message board. What a moron I am.

One thing that is really cool. She just gave it up for the first time and is already wanting a threesome!!! Wishing Lizzy was there with her. She's not wasting any time getting up to speed.
