Freakin' hilarious!

And people say that kids today are stupid: Kids in Troy, Michigan tapped into a Burger King drive-thru’s radio network.

(T)he 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 local cops are bringing the kids up on obscenity charges or some such nonsense. If I were the kid’s science teacher, though, I’d give them extra credit. They needed to ID the frequency and tune a receiver and transmitter to pull off the prank.

Although it’d be somewhat more impressive if they’d had to actually hardwire a transmitter into the box after hours…
