Hacking your friends facebook statuses is totally the NEW prank call....
A glorious activity that existed when people still had home phones, when caller ID didn't exist or you were willing to pay .45 cents to use *67, when people were more funny than cruel and there were less suicides from cyber bullying (mainly because there wasn't myspace or facebook yet).
Prank Calling was one of my favorite childhood activities. In elementary and middle school our school used to print up a Phonebook that included the names, addresses and phone numbers of all students and their parents (unless your parents were totally fucking lame and opted out of it). I honestly can't even tell you what dumb shit I used to call and prank people about on my good 'ol Nickelodeon phone but I know that I definitely got lectured by a couple parents, usually the ones whose children I would consistently harass and once in a while would receive a phone call back to my own parent when I finally freed up the line. Keep in mind these pranks were all good natured and fun, I wasn't a bully and I always had a friend to team up with and enjoy the fun with (I wasn't a lonely creep, even if I was an only child).
At a young age I even found it entertaining to prank call 800 numbers and say idiotic things to frustrate them, I remember spending one afternoon impatiently waiting for my Mom to come out of Target spending time fucking around with the operator via a payphone until she finally got so pissed with me and my friend's repetitive bullshit that she told us she would send the cops to our location and have us arrested (a threatening tactic I used later on in my own pranking). Of course we were terrified and ceased and desisted immeadietly, in retrospect its a total joke to imagine an operator probably stationed somewhere in Alabama to call law enforcement in Minnesota and send them to one of a 100+ Targets to have them arrest two 12 year old girls that they have no physical description of. Either way she made her point.
In my middle school and young high school days, before the influences of drugs and alcohol, my friends and I found it incredibly entertaining to call our acquaintances homes and accuse them of racking up extremely high bills for using the Sex Chat Line "Live Links", we got so giddy and naturally high off of this activity that we constantly busted ourselves out by falling out of character and in to hysterical giggle fits. One of the best parts about it was coming up with our victim's alleged Pseudonyms, it basically consisted of us combining the extra curricular activity they were in and some some sexual term like "Tennis Slut 69" or "Big Dick B-Baller". The one instance that will go down in Prank Call History is when we convinced one of our fools that we were for real. She heard our schpeel about her $300 bill and tried to call us on our bullshit which only made us come at her with more faux facts, when she got an attitude with us and threatened to hang up on us we pulled out the 'ol Operator trick and threatened to have the cops sent to her house and arrest her for...I mean who fucking knows what...but for whatever reason it scared the shit out of her and she listened up and agreed to pay the bill when it got sent to her house. We felt like we had won the Gold Medal of Pranking and have reminisced about it ever since with glee.
Of course before pranking died out we became victims...there was a group of guys during our high school days that came up with an evil yet brilliant scheme, they preferred to get voice mails and left messages saying that they were from such and such clinic and had the test results for ____ from their STD screening, sending some of our parents in to a frenzy. Hats off to them.
And so my readers I encourage you to reignite the pranking sensation and fuck with anyone who leaves their FB page open on your computer- make it sexual, make it raunchy, make it shameful and make it embarrassing as fuck....but try not to get out of hand. Cyber bullying does exist, you don't want any one's blood on your hands so try to keep it from getting mean, unless of course it's deserved.
