The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Best. Prank.. Ever!

A friend of mine showed this to me the other day.  Probably the funniest thing I've seen online...Ever! :lol  :lol

Here's the scenario:
Pranksters/engineers with too much time on their hands went to a Japanese ski resort and rigged up some..amusement to the spa's massage chairs.  Ideally, the user puts in a coin, a countdown starts, and the chair starts vibrating/massaging the user.  Instead...well...you'll see! :lol  :lol

If you have a bit of a goofy sense of humor, you'll probably get a kick out of this one.
Don't stop halfway through!  They have another prank later!

You're right, Tails.  It's....not very nice.  I'd hate to be the victim of these.  Doesn't look like anybody got hurt but who knows what happened, really.

Funny to watch, I"m glad no one got hurt.  Though I do wonder what happened in the long run to those set up those chairs to do that.   Looks like the last one could be set up as a sort of ride by the resort.

More elaborate and it looked like the folks the second prank had fun while the prank was being played on them.  An added plus, the victim laughs too while it is being done, a rare thing for pranks I would say, but makes them even more funny.

First, you say it's the finniest thing that you've ever seen online, and then, you say that it's not nice, and that you wouldn't want to be the victim of a trap massage chair. :p It reminded me of something "Candid Camera" or "Just for Laughs" might do. It seemed like a pretty silly thing, and it sure didn't help that most of the time, they couldn't be bothered to wear any underwear. :rolleyes: Do you suppose that those were actual flames coming out of the, er, rocket chair? :DD

Every word of that is true, my friend. :p
