The teenager's parents accidentally made the invite a public post and by Christmas 1.3 million people had replied -- and thousands turned up to Rubi Ibarra Garcia's 15th birthday in central Mexico's San Luis Potosi state...

But the celebrations turned to tragedy Monday when Felix Pena, a 66-year-old man who regularly raced horses and worked at a local stable, was trampled during the race, according to the local attorney general.....It is unclear why he stepped into the line of galloping horses. According to the local authority, an investigation has been opened.

Tragic accident, yes, but the rest of the story is fun!

"I'm not doing it for the money, I'm doing it for the fame and glory," he had said.
Any red blooded male understands this!

All the people and no shootings, no word that they trashed the place!

Looks to have been a good time!

When the bathtub on the third floor wound up in the first floor bathroom, we knew it was time to send everyone home.

In the lead up to the party, Rubi and her family made TV appearances, Mexican airline Interjet offered discounted tickets to the nearby airport, designers sent free dresses, and Spotify uploaded a special playlist for the big day. Local police also deployed extra security for the event.

All these preparations and daddy was somehow surprised so many showed up. Uh, no. Rich Daddy is a big fat liar who wanted the party to be the biggest and the best for his little spoilt princess.

Folks forget that ego is the dominant force behind the culture of machismo.

It is simply insecurity, but with more male strutting and violence.

So where is your beef?
Everyone was invited! You should have attended!

“You snooze, you lose”

Being in Texas and all, you were right next door!
