OT: You're too fat... |
Hackers heckle drive-in diners
US police are hunting hackers who tapped into the radio at a fast food
drive-through and insulted customers.
The offenders are reportedly tapping into the wireless frequency at the
Burger King restaurant in Troy, Michigan, AP news agency reported.
One customer who placed an order was told: "You don't need a couple of
Whoppers. You are too fat. Pull ahead."
Police said the pranksters could face misdemeanour charges carrying up
to three months in jail plus fines.
Insults
Troy policeman Gerry Scherlink said the hackers told another customer
who had placed an order for Coca-Cola: "We don't have Coke."
When the customer asked what they had, the hacker said: "We don't have
anything. Pull ahead."
Police suspect that calls are being made using a radio transmitter or
walkie-talkie near the restaurant.
The owner of the affected Burger King franchise, Tony Versace, said: "We
apologise to our customers who've been insulted by the use of this
drive-through speaker."
Police said the culprits were probably watching and broadcasting from
close range and could be charged with misdemeanour if caught.

If I heard that through the drive-thru speaker, I'd probably respond
in my normal contrary fashion by ordering a couple of double-meat
Whoppers.

Troy Michigan is an incredibly wealthy community. One of the expolice
told us of an exiciting evening they had when they where asked to
check out a break-in. No one wanted to go. It turned out to be a cat

Than protecting important, American businesses from perceived "terrorists"? Of course not! Crack dealers
and rapists are small potatoes compared to terrorists like this!

Exactly. This is only the first step in the destruction of American
drive-thru lanes. Next, these so-called pranksters will broadcast
subliminal coded messages to customers. You THINK you hear "would
you like ketchup with that?" or "that'll be four-seventy-eight" but
the REAL message is "death to America!"
It's essential that the Office of Homeland Security check the shoes
of everyone within two blocks of any drive-thru lane for hidden
transmitters. No expense or inconvenience is too great to insure
the preservation of American freedom.
