Best prank ever?

Maybe, maybe not. Either way it's gotta be close to the top

I wish folks that grew up inland would recall that coastlines are actually HOME for some people. Please think "National Park", instead of an "Amusement Park".

Sorry for being such a hardass, but folks not taking the beach seriously is also why people drown in riptides.

When I was a kid back home, we used to throw them rocks and stuff, hoping they'd learn not to eat that E36 M3 when the tourists threw up food. Yeah, we were young, and hopeful..

Feeding seagulls is like feeding wild animals anywhere else. Once they associate humans with a food source, they become a PITA. And I don't have a cite, but I've observed that when seagulls eat human food, they E36 M3 like that, regardless of whether there's laxatives in it or not.

Please recall my overall hatred of "pranks" as you read my reply..I just can't understand why causing other people trouble should be considered as a source of humor. YMMV.

That's a fake video. A viral video company made it...

someone needs their car wrapped in saran wrap...

I hope it was a fake.

Otherwise it was just stupid, and the only people that got anything out of it enjoyed berkeleying with seagulls' health and inconveniencing people.

I'm with FGC on this one, with an extra helping of Get Off My Lawn. When someone thinks it's funny to make someone (or something) else's day worse, I hope to get my laughs watching them get cited, arrested, fired, whatever.

I love humor. I love it whether it's clever or dumb, for the most part. I do not think berkeleying with others is humor.

Dude, seriously..don't go there. My original response was about how I'd use various weapons upon someone doing that, before I realized I needed to chill the berkeley out about it.

yeah, now i'm thinking more along the lines of the industrial strength shrink wrap that comes on the rolls that are about 2 feet wide. .with a giant bow made out of about 3 rolls of duct tape to tie it all together..

Meh

I'm not knocking you at all, but why the hate on pranks? That being said I'm a prankster but I can take it as well as I can dish it out. Now, THAT being said, I have ground rules I go by. I won't do something that costs you money, I won't do something that effects anyone but the intended target, I won't damage your property, 99% of the time, you know you are playing before I get you.
Did you get your pants pulled down in school or something?

That wasn't funny.

In reply to DrBoost:

So you are taking the yahoo hack prank so well....

If this is true, it's horrible. Bird feeces carries crap just like yours does- this can be very dangerous to some people.

If my infant son got crapped on and I saw some young punks laughing and filming it, they would need a laxative to remove their camera.

From a Marketing perspective, it was effective because it went viral, but what did it intend to advertise?

Hey, I have an idea. Lets drug some animals. Dumbasses. I hope their mother pours bird E36 M3 in their breakfast tomorrow.

Well I guess I'm just a sick bastard because it made me laugh

People pranking people is fine. Making animals sick is not.

So much hubbub over a fake video.

Dickhead factor is too high on this prank.

I was laughing till I saw the little boy with poop on his head. Something about having a kid makes that stuff not funny to me anymore. I dunno. I did laugh at everyone else though. LOL If it's fake, cool. If not, eh. I've heard of people throwing alka-seltzers at seaguls to make their stomachs explode. Never thought that was funny. I can see the humor in a huge cloud of crapping birds though.

I've got no problem if its fake. Good work for them. If its real, there's a high level of douchbaggery. I wont say it gives others bad ideas, because they should know better anyway.

Well, the yahoo thing is malicious. I didn't get all up in arms, I just moved to a service that's more secure.
The bird crap one is nasty. I never said otherwise. The bird crap prank (if it's real) goes against every one of my ground rules. Did you notice that?

And yet you attack his response. Did you notice that?

Well, there was interrence that I was taking the yahoo 'prank' not well. Here's my post about the yahoo 'prank'
"I'm ditching yahoo after the big hack that went down, well that and the fact that my yahoo account has been hacked for the third time. How do I change the e-mail associated with GRM?"
The Thread
So, I did indeed take it well. Then Alfa goes on to inform me that bird poop carries nasty stuff, just like mine does. I just made clear that the bird laxative prank goes against all of my prank rules. I wasn't sure if he actually read my post or not, so I brought that to his attention.
Did you notice that?
Where was the attack, I didn't notice that.

Nothing like that, I've just always hated them. I can tolerate a whoopie cushion or one of those firecracker things you tie to the door (through gritted teeth), but more than that just kind of drives me nutz. Don't even really know why, it just does.

That's cool, just curious. I worked with a guy many moons ago. He didn't want to be involved in our pranks. We respected that. I asked him why and he said that he knew too many people that could dish it out, but couldn't take it. He didn't want the drama. I understood that totally.

There's guys like that here at my work. They dish out the crap, but don't take it so well. Can't stand that...
