Heroic Australian party boy Corey Worthington is officially an intercontinental phenomenon. The day after the hard-partying 16-year-old was unfairly accosted by a judgmental newscaster trying to guilt him into taking responsibility for a totally rad kegger gone haywire (or AWESOME), bands of supporters are taking to the Internet to implore that Corey keep rockin' those yellow shades and just live, baby, live.

Already, a website, I Love Corey Worthington, has been erected as the one-stop portal for all your Corey needs. "I'm just offended that [buzz-killing authoritarian figures] call him the 'dumbest,'" writes the site's editor. "Most teenagers who get caught at parties get a mark on their permenant [sic] record. Corey is getting famous, bitches! That sounds pretty smart to me!"

Over on Facebook, fans can join their hero in the COREY WORTHINGTON IS A DEADSET LEGEND tribute group, one of four that have been created in his honor. "Sooo wanna go his next party LOL," posts blonde cutie Crystal. It seems Corey would very much like that, judging from his response:

"take it:BREAKIT ^luvin dis shit^

Ur all Tha GOOD type !!!~~~
Every1 HiT up tha ||C-nut||

Fkn (maKe) me a groUp Offical!

Sik."

The best news: It seems Corey may not even be hit with the $20,000 clean-up fine after all! (His parents have yet to get in touch with him, last we heard). Someone get this dude a three-picture deal with his American counterpart, the equally beach-loving, shirt-averse Matthew McConaughey, pronto.
