Project M, the Twitter-fueled party in suburban Michigan, never happened. But it still managed to get the cops involved.

On hearing that a local teen in Farmington Hills, Michigan, was planning an epic blowout at a foreclosed house (not his own) with the help of Twitter and local radio stations, 10 police cruisers rushed to the scene.

The cops found scores of folks, both kids and adults, trying to get into the empty house, despite its being only 11 a.m. The party never actually got going, but it clearly was well on its way to being a rager.

So, what did happen? A Michigan teen, identified as Mikey, sent out a tweet Friday morning saying that he was planing to host a house party called Project M. That was an obvious reference to "Project X," the new movie in which three teens host a party that involves flame throwers, car crashes, and (of course) very angry neighbors.

Response was enthusiastic, to say the least. The invite quickly went viral, helped by Mikey promoting the party on local radio stations. One thing led to another, and before you can say, "RSVP," thousands of people had heard about it and were planning to attend.

According to ClickOnDetroit.com's Shawn Ley, Mikey's father was called in and did what he could to get the word out that the party was not (repeat: NOT) happening. By 11, the party was canceled, effectively over before it began.

Mikey's father was doing his best to help use the incident as a lesson for his son. "I'm going to talk to him and make sure he understands what the Internet can do."
