YouTube Pranks: A Legal Remedy?

MARKETING PILGRIM -- June 10 -- You could probably name at least one prank that you've seen on YouTube that was filmed specifically to get attention on the video sharing site. One prank and YouTube video was of a car of teens in a drive thru. After receiving the drinks they ordered and paying, the cashier returned to the window with their change. The boys yelled "Fire in the hole!" and threw a drink into the drive thru window. Apparently the boys conceived of the prank for the purpose of creating a hilarious YouTube video. The cashier tracked down the video and traced back to the boys' MySpace accounts. There, she friended them and confirmed that they were behind the attack. The driver, 16, and the cameraman, 15, were charged with two counts of battery and one count of criminal mischief. FULL ARTICLE @ MARKETING PILGRIM
