Facebook rape stirs questions about witnessing crimes online

<p>In the pantheon of &#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; fails, one contestant&#8217;s missed answer Tuesday night was pretty epic.</p><p>With two blank spaces remaining, a player named Kevin guessed &#8220;C,&#8221; leaving him with the following puzzle:</p><p>A S T R E E T C A R N A _ E D D E S I R E</p><p>Kevin chose to spin the wheel again, narrowly avoiding a &#8220;Bankrupt&#8221; tile and landing on $600. It should have been his moment of glory.</p><p>Instead, he called out: &#8220;K!&#8221;</p><p>There was silence.</p><p>A gasp and some pained groans from the audience.</p><p>The jarring squawk of the buzzer.</p><p>Host Pat Sajak could only respond, after a brief pause, with a self-restrained &#8220;Nooo &#8230;&#8221;</p><p>Kevin&#8217;s mistake quickly went viral.</p><p>The next contestant, a woman named Lisa, capitalized on Kevin&#8217;s fail and solved the puzzle &#8212; which spelled, of course, &#8220;A Streetcar Named Desire,&#8221; the 1947 Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tennessee Williams.</p><p>As the camera pulled back, all the contestants appeared to be laughing.</p><p>Kevin shook his head.</p><p>And Sajak congratulated Lisa &#8212; with a caveat.</p><p>&#8220;Although you got the right answer,&#8221; he said, smiling, &#8220;I&#8217;d rather see Kevin&#8217;s play.&#8221;</p><style>
