“It’s just a prank, bro!”
-them, probably
I’m glad. “Prank” videos are awful. A good prank or joke is enjoyed and laughed about by all parties, without incentive or provokation. This is public disruption that some people somehow find funny.
Some of the viral videos show this in action. In one, a man can be heard telling employees at Chipotle that he was called in to “clean house” because portion sizes have been “lacking.”
He makes a phone call to call in his troops, who then begin haphazardly “cleaning” the restaurant and attempting to enter the employees-only area behind the counter as the store’s manager calls the police.
Honestly, it’s kinda funny. I wouldn’t watch the video, but reading the article brought out a chuckle.
I only find it funny when one of these loser youtube pranksters gets punched or tazed. Antagonizing people for fun and profit is an asshole’s way of living.
I guess I just don’t feel bad for corporations.
Except it’s the underpaid workers being tormented for “entertainment”
