The United Kingdom has a legal tool known as a "super injunction" which bars the British press from disclosing the names, details and private lives, of individuals seeking said court order. However, Twitter, based on US shores, was used by a British blogger, to expose a six month adulterous affair of athlete Ryan Giggs.

The world famous footballer, who plays for Manchester United FC, reportedly had an extramarital affair, with nude model and reality star, Imogen Thomas. The married father of two, sought to keep the affair secret from the press, to preserve his marriage to Stacey Giggs, the mother of his two children.

However, Thomas and her friends began implying she had an affair with a famous footballer and dropped so many hints to the press that it led some to believe it was Giggs. Bound by UK law, Thomas and co. could not state his name, but gave enough information for others to go on.

Then, Twitter came into play, via the blog site Super Injunction, who let the cat out the bag, pardon the pun. Hey, let's face it, Thomas is acting quite catty towards his wife. Thomas seems more concerned about her celebrity, than Giggs' wife and children, which is regrettable. She owes his wife and kids an apology for that.
