Hackers tell man he's "too fat" to eat at Burger King

lol!

Hilarious! I read that the FCC was going to send out some sort of transmission hunting vans. Pssht. I think they're just trying to scare the kids.

I can't wait to see what happens to the first person caught doing this....they're gonna throw the book at them to set an example. All this wireless communication now opens unsecured businesses open to this. It doesn't pay to be unsavvy about tech anymore.

hey, they were doing him a favor, if only cholesterol-wise :)

Though putting them in jail for 3 months over this, would seem a bit harsh to me

naughty kids, but it is funny, even if it's mean.

when i was kid (millions of yrs ago), it was the telephone & prank calls. that wasn't right either, but i can recall the hysterical laughter we had from being little naughty booger butts. you know these kids were totally busting a gut. pretty clever prankstering really.

It's definately mean, but I would love to do it if I had the chance! Lol I'm sure I'm not the only one :-p

hack? there's hacking involved? sheesh I just used my CB radio and would bleed all over the speakers even radios that were not on, i'd bleed into almost any speaker.

I could have a ton 'o fun if I knew how to do that. A little mean perhps, but worth the huge laughs.

they need to give those characters the chair...and Flame Broil them!

hehe

hahah that is friggin genius! i love it :-D

thats extremely hilarious

lol, why would you even waste your time with that. I can see prank phone calls being a whole lot funnier.

There are so many ways you could have fun with that. ;)

Big props to them for trying it out, even if it was a little harsh.

"Sorry Sir, we don't serve food here."
>> You're Burger King...
"Yes, and the King said we shall no longer serve others, but only him, so move on before I'm caught talking to you"

That's pretty funny. Calling people fat would be a little out of line, as it'd be a little hard to take it as a joke though.

Wow, that is comedy. Hopefully the guy ate a salad afterwards :). I just think of all the fun I could have doing that... wow I just realized how immature I am :(

Hahah! Well, they're doing people a favor... fast food is bad for you anyway!

No shit. This is no hack. The kid scanned some frequencies or looked it up online.

Funny as hell though.

I have an RCI Radio that I could do this with, I can scan channels with it and I have picked up the local Carls Jr.

:lol: Almost makes me wish that I would have thought of something like that while i still worked at BK.

I saw a small snip of this story on TechTV the other day. It seems like some of the patrons were having fun with the guys. I don't see how anyone would get overly pissed at this, but that's just me.

I thought that was hilarious !

That's one of the funniest pranks I've heard in a long while.. almost tops the fake pubes beard prank..

Haha-I like it.

Prank phone calls are taken to the next level. :) Quite funny indeed.

because everything and anything that is remostly technical is now "hacking" :rolleyes:

Back in the day, hackers made calls for free on public phones. You could do this with a tape recorder. Do you suppose a prank call was made this way occasionally? Demonstrating unintended capabilities of technological devices is hacking (or cracking), especially if you do it as an immature prank.

Haha - mean but it might do them good.

Very funny. It's amazing what people don't know about their cordless phones, either.

3 months that is harsh.

I agree with Cynthetiq it is not a crime of the century, hell just a bit of fun.

Why do the large co like B.K Macs etc all have a seriourly tight ring piece.


I would love to be at the drive thru to hear and see what goes on, better than T.V
:lol:

it looks like some one got there hands on jolly rogers anarchist cook book.

That's very true, and the population of the U.S. is gradually getting more and more obese over time. Serving sizes are just increasing.

But nevertheless, that's a pretty funny story...I dunno what I would have done if I had been the person in the car. I probably would have drove up to the window and beat the shit out of the person that was taking my order!:lol:

Thats fucking hilarious! Props to those kids for trying it out.

Calling him fat is definatly mean though, and I think that was going perhaps just a tad to far.

Funny as fuck man! You would be well pissed off!

In what way is this funny?

That is some funny shit!!!

V.

Wow, that's great! Sounds like it would be rather shocking as a customer though.

it would be funny until i had my kids in the car with me. then i would be infuriated

Holy shit!! Haha.

I wonder how that happenned....?

Damn that is great. Id laugh if something like that happend to me.

lol i might have to try that...

haha now that is comedy dunno what I'd do if that happened to me

Reminds me of Fight Club "You're too fat, get the fuck off my porch!"

funny stuff there--but they should really do that== i am tired of people blaming fast food cuz their fat

Hell if I thought of the idea I would of done it myself....

I used to live in the city where this happened, Troy, MI. I don't recall any hacked fast food speakers while I was there. That's all I have to add =P

Really.
People complain that their overweight or arent happy with themselves and then order a triple cheeseburger supersized combo, on a daily basis. What a bunch of superficial babies.

This, my friends, is the new #1 reason why I make all my fast food orders inside the building.

Arby's was scratching their head for a little while during football season. We had radios to communicate with the other trainers, and our code names were Peanut butter and Jelly. Sometimes we blipped onto their frequency, and people would tell Arby's, I don't want a peanut butter/Jelly sandwhich! I wanna roast beef!

if i have to explain it, it won't be funny anymore.

Hell, the local Police Department's radios bleed into my cable feed on channel 19.....nothing I can do about it!

damn, wish I thought of this before this would be so much fun, and isnt to hard just takes some time to set up. All really have to do is get a radio and change the frequency then on the other side have someone in the bushes near burger king so that they can hear if you get the right frequency. Or if your a smarter/more dedicated person you can just get a job there and find the frequency.

Lol when I read this at first I thought it was serious and it wasnt someone else and an employee said that so my natural reaction to this thread was Owned

In the same way that any joke is funny- unless it's picking on YOU. I'm sorry if you're overweight, but I'm sure if someone told a skinny joke, you'd be the first to chuckle. And if you live in America, you're part of the 66% of adults who are obese, so you're not even in a minority.

Also, this is childish hijinx. Sure, what they're doing is illegal, but there's no reason to chastize us for laughing at their stupidity.

P.S.- I was fat growing up. My height used to be measured as a value of pi (as in I was quite round, I hope you got that). I was ridiculed, belittled, and marginalized all during elementary school. So don't think I "don't know". I know. :)

psht no hacking... any idiot could do this.. i beleive something like this happened on the simpsons.. tho i could be wrong... seems everythings been on the simpsons tho

Inventive idea... I'd do it. I might be a little nicer with the fat jokes.

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!

Gotta love that episode of South Park.
