Remember the ‘Mass’ Facebook page? Thousands are ‘going’ to a follow-up event at Christmas

Conor Heneghan

Here we go again.

As fads go, the ‘Mass’ event that dominated Irish Facebook feeds a few weeks’ back was a very impactful but short-lived one.

At one stage, over 200,000 people were said to be ‘attending’ the event, with the page attracting hundreds of posts, some of which were pretty funny, others anything but.

There was, it must be said, a charitable element involved, with Pieta House benefitting from thousands of euro worth of donations.

Capitalising on the momentum generated by the original event, another one, ‘My Birthday/Christmas,’ has been created, with 13,000 people having already committed to ‘attending’ the event on Christmas Day and another 14,000 saying they are interested in doing so.

As was the case with the original event, there has been no shortage of posts on the event page itself and again, some are pretty amusing, others maybe not so much.
