An Egyptian actress was reduced to a sobbing, nervous wreck on national television when pranksters staged a fake Daesh (the so-called Islamic State) terrorist abduction and tried to make her wear a phony suicide belt.
Militants linked to Daesh have previously claimed attacks on the country, so it is not inconceivable that Heba Magdy believed she had somehow become embroiled in a terrifying terrorist plot, reports Albawaba.com.
The extraordinarily cruel prank was part of Egyptian channel Al Nahar TVs show Mini Daesh which involves actors dressed in militant uniforms and carrying crude Daesh flags frightening unsuspecting victims.
On Sunday, Al Nahar TV tweeted a clip of the bizarre hidden camera program, showing the breakdown of their first hostage Magdy.
During the show, Magdy sobs uncontrollably as she is surrounded by a group of masked men carrying guns and a whip.
At one point the screaming woman cowers behind a wooden chair, while an actor posing as a terrorist attempts to wrap a prop suicide vest stuffed with hoax explosives around her.
The traumatic trick culminates with police apparently surrounding the building as firecrackers go off and a man in a balaclava points a rocket launcher at the door.
AhlulBayt News Agency reported that Magdy was unaware it was all a prank. Other episodes of Mini Daesh have since aired on Al Nahar TV, with one frightened man being forced to swear an oath in front of the Daesh flag.
Egyptian pranksters have previously made global headlines due to their penchant for over-the-top jokes.
Paris Hilton reportedly threatened to sue notorious TV rogue entertainer Ramez Galal, after she was led to believe a plane she was traveling in was about to crash.
The US socialite was in Dubai to open a new hotel when she boarded a flying tour of the city. However, half-way through the pilot simulated an engine failure leading a screaming Hilton to believe she was plummeting to her death.
Are we going to land or not? Why cant we land where is the pilot? she can be heard shouting, before a man, for some reason, is pushed from the back of the open plane.
Galal later apologized to a crying Hilton and revealed she was the unwitting participant in a prank show.
Thats like been the biggest fear of my whole life dying in a plane because I fly almost every day of my life. Oh my god,a clearly distressed Hilton said.
Galal usually hosts a Ramadan prank show in which he pushes celebrities to the brink both physically and emotionally.
On Monday, his show Ramez Plays with Fire staged a towering hotel inferno to dupe Lebanese singer Ragheb Alama, although there has been speculation that Alama actually knew what was going on during the explosive events.
“Defending Your Life” and “Lost in America” are great movies.
Sounds like someone needs to introduce your kneecaps to a baseball bat some time. You’ve probably left a few folks behind that would laugh at that prank.
Try THAT in Texas or Alabama. Dead pranksters.
If they think this is funny, wait til they see the one where an orange-haired US President turns Mecca into glass. And it’s a series!
I keep hearing we can’t outbreed the muslims, and my new religion has the answer,
Pillage the ME and take all the women as slaves. An oil well for every viking.
Making me a sandwich in the US beats being stoned to death for spilling tea on a koran.
I think I might convert to your new religion, LOL.
I wonder if the ME women could be trained to give nuru massages the way the Japanese women sometimes are?
It was in payback to a gag they pulled on me. Game on.
HR sent out an email to the folks that I knew were part of the gag on me saying that they were implicated in a harassment complaint and that they needed to come see her. My boss was on that list and was sitting near me when he read it. He looked at me and said “You’re not on the list and if there was any harassing going on, you’d be part of it.”
To rebut your argument, allow me to enter into evidence Exhibits A, B, and C: |
Or as Ann Coulter said after 9/11, take their oil wells (built by the west) and make them convert to Christianity. Followed by destroying Mecca.
It will happen eventually or...we will all die and usher in another Dark Age.
I thought they both sucked.

I loved the Muse with a very funny...Sharon Stone!
She didn't do anything with me after that. It was her idea and my roommate told her he'd do it.
The father was really cool and thought I was a sincerely decent guy, and this was even after we said it was a joke.
Psychopaths
Sorry, my roommate told her I would do it.
What do you have against Maine?
Oh, I don't know, Will Ferrell could give him a run for the money.
Lots of individuals here pull the same kind of sick crap. It’s just a matter of time before one of them ends up dead.
ME = Middle East
Damn. Try that on the wrong individual and see if the director can intervene in time to stop bodies from hitting the floor. Would I clear holster on those clowns? Absolutely. Guaranteed. And very happily, thankyouverymuch.
my neighbor snuck up to my office window one night to scare me. next morning i “politely informed” him how stupid that was and “suggested” he not do that again.
