Would You Like Fries With That, LardAss?
So far,
this Ananova wire report (via Drudge) is my favorite news story of 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.
Track those lil' geniuses down and give them job at
Voice of America. But don't let them broadcast to Israel --
Ariel Sharon is very sensitive about his weight.
