The manager is probably some 19-year-old kid. She probably thought she was saving lives. People may laugh but I applaud her earnestness and decisiveness. With some life experience, she may have some career potential.

A can-do moron is still a moron. She ain’t getting anywhere.

If you go to youtube and look for pranknet or prank U, this was a very evil set of pranks.

That being said, it is amazing what people can be talked into.

Most of the first gen prankster are doing felony sentences.

The KFC prank is off the scale.
