If This Dude Gets One Million Facebook Likes, His High School Crush Will Sleep with Him

"It was meant as a joke for our group of friends," Kverneng, 20, told the local press.

Joke or not, the "status upgrade" soon hit 4chan's /b/ imageboard, where users naturally felt compelled to help Kverneng out.

Within a matter of hours, the solicitation gained over 900,000 likes, and is presently steamrolling ahead to the 1 million mark.

Edit: I was joking with my original post but I shared this not because of the getting laid part, but because I was kind of shocked at how social mores have changed since I was a 20 year old. These two 20 year olds now have this history every time someone googles their name.

Imagine if every stupid thing you did when you were 20 had been filmed and shared on the internet. Every dumb comment, every joke, every drunk stumble and bad choice there for your parents, future bosses, future boyfriends and girlfriends. Society is making such a huge and fast change. I never cease to be amazed by it.

SOrry if my goofing about the subject matter was offensive.

internet.

Those kids don't realize it but every time someone googles their name, for the rest of their lives, up will pop this story.

My 20 year old self didn't have the sense God gave a post. Thank goodness there was no digital camera, internet or phone cameras back then or I'd be in so much trouble.

on Facebook, Tweet, or text will be read by their mother and grandfather. So far it has worked. (They're good kids with good sense, unlike the two featured in the OP).
