Anyone with an internet connection and a Facebook account may have noticed the rising tide of ironically-named fake Facebook events intended by its creators to go viral. What originated with simple over-RSVPing to events on Facebook seems to have mutated into a totally different kind of trend.

MVHS students share their perspectives on this rapidly growing phenomenon.
