Uncle Sam Wants Burger King Prankster

The feds are taking the Burger King radio pirate very seriously.

As we reported yesterday, some nasty evildoer discovered the wireless frequency that a Troy, Mich., Burger King franchise uses to talk to drive-through customers. He's been telling patrons in most unappetizing language that they're "too fat to eat Whoppers," among other insults.

Classic! LOL!

How much does the NIH spend on anti-obesity efforts?

Just consider this "prankster" a friendly PSA...

[RoughDobermann]

They'll never catch me. BRB, gotta get the door...

Pump Up the Volume comes to life.... bwahahaha...

[Howie66]

The FCC might bring in its signal detection trucks

Dweeby radio dorks living off my dime.

I hope the Burger King Radio pirate pours sugar in their gas tank, or at least calls them fat.

HAHAHA, I got a great image in my head of three nerds in a van, with a detector, listening to people make Burger King orders all day. Then, at the end of the day, when the last car rolls through the drivethrough, and they've sweated/frozen their butts off, they finally get what they are looking for: "You asswipes in the van having fun yet?"

So that's why my taxes have to be so high.

[ysoitanly]

I'm appalled. These are personality traits of a future serial killer.

"Your order's free if you flash me at the window!"

[Hank Rearden]

Your vision is what I wish for all Big Stupid Government "workers" at some point in their parasitic existence. Funny stuff!

[FReepaholic]

>>...Now the Federal Communications Commission has taken over the case...<<

Gimmie a break. Have they done any monetary damage....no.

Heck, when CB radios first became big, me and some of my teen age buddies would park at the local drive-up Dairy Queen and transmit over their PA system: "John Smith (or whoever we knew was waiting), your order is ready".

We'd laugh our butts off as the dude hopped out of his car and ran up to the window!

[microgood]

Its pretty scary when the government takes itself this seriously.

[ASA Vet]

The drive-through prankster hasn't been heard from since Thursday.

To late to bring in the DF vans now.

[Shryke]

Thanks! Like ending the day on a smile myself.

You know things are going well in America when the feds have the time and extra cash lying around to investigate this. I can see them parking their "undercover" white conversion van with US Government tags next to the dumpster (where nobody else parks, let alone leaves the engine running all day). As soon as they drive off to refill the gas tank, the next driver at the drive-thru hears "Yeah, we can supersize that. Looks like you'll need your suspenders supersized too, fatso"

[OrioleFan]

Reminds me of the days when the FCC used to sit at truck stops listening to CBs. They'd correlate someone's lights dimming when a transmission occurred and go check em out for linear amps.
