Ryan Burke thought Mindy Moorman was cheating on him and decided to break up with her...in a very public way. He set up a meeting with her, hired a chorus of singers, and used Facebook to announce the "public" event.
mlive.com: NewsFlash - Breakup becomes YouTube breakthrough: "Burke, a history major, said the breakup was something of an experiment in human behavior. But he also said it was genuine — he was furious about Moorman's alleged cheating.
'It was like they were reading from a script,' said James Mundia, a manager at UNC Chapel Hill's student TV station, who helped edit the online footage. 'There wasn't a lot of passion for a breakup where there's a lot of raw emotion.
'But I guess that's YouTube. It didn't matter if it was real or if it was fake, everyone wanted it to be real. People wanted that entertainment.'"
You decide...
