OF all the myriad things that become part of common culture the idea of "punking" someone, i.e. fooling them in to believing that something has happened when it actually hasn't is one of the most immature, idiotic things ever.
It's not funny. It's childish and infantile. Another sign of the "dumbing down" of America.
Sounds like someone's been on the receiving end of one too many pranks.
I can see how that might happen to you, Rick.
People have tried, and ended up embarrassed or worse. Just because I find it childish and immature, doesn't mean that I don't realize that other people think it's funny, ro look for targets. The small minded rarely bother me, only when they rise to positions of authority and influence. I'm pretty harmless until someone pisses me off.
You of all people with your background and morality, should recognize that America is in decline, and the root cause of it all is people's stupidity. The majority of Americans having no standards or sensibilities and shallow morals, little surprises me in what happens.
