Summary for: Outrageous Czech Fake Facebook EventsFake Facebook events have been a worldwide trend in social media for awhile now—observe last year’s Crying and Eating Bread By Yourself on the Floor attended by 72,000 people, evidence that the world officially has way too much time on its hands.
A number of Czech fake Facebook events have even managed to achieve global notoriety of late, including this one by Czech teenager Jan Štacl and friends who planned a masturbation marathon for June 1, 2016 on Old Town Square.
Some of the 6,000 people who joined the event actually booked flights to Prague and were less than thrilled to learn the whole thing was a hoax.
These upcoming events may, too, be fakes but that doesn’t mean your virtual attendance won’t cause a number of very real groans across your friends network:

It seems like a legitimate (?) Slovak exhibition devoted to guinea pigs (a similar exhibition was recently organized in Prague) has spawned a fake Facebook event on the same date that offers a degustation of original guinea pig recipes from grandmother.
