Facebook really can ruin your life

Cheaters never prosper and apparently neither do "arrogant wankers."

According to a post on switched.com, 39-year-old SouthYorkshire, England resident and loyal Manchester United fan Stuart Slann was on vacation in Cancun, Mexico when he met two Liverpool hooligans. Slann persistently gushed over the fact that Manchester currently holds the English Premiere League and Champions League titles to the utter annoyance of the two Liverpool fans who finally wound up tossing his arrogant arse into a pool. However, their revenge and soccer loyalty didn't stop there.

After returning to Liverpool, the two men set up a fake Facebook profile under the name "Emma" to tempt Slann into a virtual love affair. One 500 mile trip to North Scotland to a deserted farm and one compromising picture later, Slann finally discovered he was duped. Worse yet, Slann's wife found out about the entire thing and has since divorced him.

Facebook and soccer, what a horrible combination. I, for one, can't stand the bloody sport. I've never been able to get much excitement out of watching guys chase around a ball, scoring maybe once or twice the entire 90 minutes they play and crying when someone trips them (no offense to any soccer fans reading). I can, however, totally relate to the fanatical sports fandom. What Cougar fan wouldn't want to get a little revenge after listening to someone spout the praises of the Purple and Gold? I'm not sure if ruining another person's marraige is entirely called for, but certainly posting some pictures of the culprit with drawings of male genetila on his face wouldn't be out of the question.

I think the most valuable lesson to be learned here is: If you have to drive more than 500 miles to meet someone you met on Facebook, you may want to reevaluate you life a little bit.
