Texsox Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Police believe teenage pranksters are hacking into the wireless frequency of a US Burger King drive-through speaker to tell potential customers they are too fat for fast food. Policeman Gerry Scherlink said the pranksters told one customer who had just placed an order: "You don't need a couple of Whoppers. You are too fat. Pull ahead." The offenders are reportedly tapping into the wireless frequency at the restaurant in Troy, Michigan. Police believe the culprits are watching and broadcasting from close range. Officer Scherlinck said the men are telling customers who order a Coca-Cola that, "We don't have Coke." And when the customer asks what they do have, the hacker would say: "We don't have anything. Pull ahead." But what has managers concerned is the profanity the hackers are using, according to police. A drive-through customer has told police if he had children with him in the car and someone used profanity, he would have been upset. Burger King franchise owner Tony Versace issued the following statement in response to the incidents: "We apologise to our customers who've been insulted by the use of this drive-through speaker." Management at the fast-food restaurant are reportedly trying to change the radio frequency used for the speakers, reports Local 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Maybe they need something like that nationwide when you have fat slobbos trying to stuff 20 whoppers into their guts then sue when their heart nearly explodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I heard this on the radio yesterday. I guess another thing they said after asking if they wanted a combo meal was "Too bad, your getting a f***ing combo meal" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 A customer of mine modified his scanner to inlcude cell phones and fast food restuarants. It was hilarious. Illegal, but hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I guess they got suspicious because customers could actually UNDERSTAND what was coming out of the speakers!!! I'd never know if they're swearing at me or not, because it all sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Chalk this under the "Why didn't I think of that?" heading. This has got to be one of the funniest pranks I've heard in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 some kids did it to a Taco bell a few years ago.... Direct link to video A must watch... pretty damn funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 This is kind of funny (The whole combo thing)...it seems so Viva Le Bam with Big Vito and Phil being the ones called fat Although I think it sucks that the people are called that, I think it would be funny on a TV show though. And to note, I don't care if someone is big or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
