I almost but not quite feel sorry for him. Nah, I don't feel sorry for him at all. I hope his wife takes him to the cleaners.

Stuart Slann, 39, made the nine-hour trip from his home in Sheffield to a 
  remote farm in Scotland last month on the promise of meeting the woman he 
  had been swapping suggestive messages with for several weeks.

However, after arriving at the deserted house and waiting for a further three 
  hours in his car for "Emma" to finish work and show up, the two 
  pranksters called him to confess. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/facebook/4630590/Married-man-travels-400-miles-for-Facebook-affair-only-to-discover-it-is-a-hoax.html"><P>
To add to his humiliation, they recorded the conversation and put it onto 
  Facebook, the social networking website, and video-sharing website YouTube, 
  along with an embarrassing photograph. 
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandtechnology/technology/facebook/4630590/Married-man-travels-400-miles-for-Facebook-affair-only-to-discover-it-is-a-hoax.html"><P>
It was then that Mr Slann's wife Louise, 32, discovered the "affair". 
  Their marriage is now over.
