Police: Brazen Daylight Kidnapping Turns Out To Be... Practical Joke
— Ace

Does this sound funny to you?

Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said on Monday that what had originally appeared to be a brazen daylight kidnapping of a young couple from a street in Washington Heights on Friday was in fact the beginning of a surprise birthday celebration in the Pocono Mountains for a man who had just turned 30.
Â“The person who was supposed to be surprised by the party found out about it,Â” Mr. Kelly said at a news conference at Police Headquarters. Â“So then, you know, Plan B was to kidnap him and take him to the party. This was an additional surprise.Â”

They abducted the couple to take them to the Poconos.

But they didn't maintain the fiction the whole ride. At some point -- soon into the fake kidnapping, I hope -- they pulled off their masks and revealed the joke.

Eh... I'm not sure the relief of finding out you're not being kidnapped outweighs the terror of thinking you are.

Hoo Boy: zsasz linked this -- April Fools Day Murder Prank Goes Awry.

Here was the joke -- which I admit, is kind of funny. A woman called her sister and said, "You have to come over and help clean up; I've killed my husband. We have to dispose of the body."

I imagine she had some fake blood and a fake body waiting. (Maybe the husband? But I don't think you can fake death.)

Well, the sister called the cops. What a pill.

The prankster actually says the police's armed response was "excellent."

6 This happened to a friend of mine one Halloween... when he was maybe 12 or 13. The kicker? A very well known police officer in this metro area was involved and a masked "kidnapper". It didn't go over well, even though his family knew all about it beforehand.

9 My buddies did this for everyone's birthday when we were 17. Pretty terrifying getting pulled out of your bed at 4am (especially for the guy that the tradition was started). Then again, as a couple...that changes a lot. I'd be much more scared for her.

What happened in The Hangover, for example, was over the top but I have heard of bachelor parties/excursions where the "friends" of the groom engaged in jackassery and kept the groom from making the wedding on time because of "abduction." If that had happened to me, they would becomne ex-friends immediately.

34 My husband had a client in Illinois who lived around the corner from us.

One evening we were invited over, and as we walked through the garden gate to the pool, the client and one of his buddies grabbed me and threw me in the pool.

I was wearing a really nice sundress, very nice shoes, and a great watch and jewelry. The idiot client and his buddy (who was a drunken jackass) thought it was hilarious. Their wives giggled, too.

I got out of the pool and walked home. My husband was all, "Hey, honey, it was a joke!"

I didn't speak with him for a week, and never was friendly with the client and his wife after that (the last six months until we moved).

This 'kidnapping' stunt was decidedly not funny.

In this day and age...it is dangerous.

Dangerous and stupid.

What about those Ads that say..."If you see something, Say Something".

These days, people are encouraged to "Report Suspicious Activity".

The days of doing 'Prank Kidnappings' are over.

I was kidnapped out of my bedroom in the middle of the night as a prank...in highschool...for a slumber party.

But my Mom and Dad knew about it in advance...and so did I.

Doing something like this out in the open, on a public street, is just stupid and dangerous.

Posted by: Dr. Varno at April 04, 2013 06:16 PM (ps0SZ) I like those jokes that you turn in your head later, and laugh and laugh. My youngest brother is so good about memorizing funny lines in movies and stuff. When he and one of my other brothers gets together, I get the laugh pains.

95 73 Stupidity should have painful consequences. Posted by: Anna Puma (+SmuD) at April 04, 2013 06:25 PM (fGI92) You can look up "lethal prank" or "fatal prank" to see some examples. I have always hated scare pranks. Always. You want to totally screw up 30-40 lives, hold a surprise kidnap or scare party for someone with a CCW (as has been mentioned above). Someone did try to surprise me by sneaking into my room and jumping on my bed when I had a gun on the headboard. Luckily I am a light sleeper and heard them before they entered, had time to judge the situation and not shoot them. But you know, could have gone another way.

Mortal fear, abject terror, permanent damage, or lasting humiliation to amuse the majority at the expense of the individual is just sadism. Remember the way 'Candid Camera' used to be? Pranks of confusion. Today, we get terror, like the little dead girl in the elevator that went viral a while ago.

Me: Hello? (from a sound sleep)

HH: Is Rick there?

Me: Yes, but he's sleeping.

HH: Oh this is Susie from xyz company. What time is it there?

Me: Midnight.

HH: I can never remember if you guys are 12 hours ahead of us or 12 hours behind us. *giggle*

125 I got Perfect Revenge on my husband a few weeks later.

Anyone in Chicagoland ever listen to the Kevin Mathews radio show? He was fucking hilarious. I used to laugh so hard listening to him I'd have to pull off the road because of the tears.

Anyhow, my husband was attending a meeting in Salt Lake City, and called me a couple of nights before he came home: "There's this wild 'Free Martinis For Girls Night' here at my hotel. Place is crawling with women."

The next morning, Kevin asks if any listeners have a spouse or significant other he can prank. I called in and told him about my husband's trip. He got two of his female co-hosts to call our answering machine and leave a sexy message, that they'd enjoyed partying with my husband in Salt Lake City. Heh.

The next night my husband came home and I refused to kiss him, and went into the whole fake tears thing. I should have won an award. I played the answering machine for him and he was stunned, and begged me not to believe what the girls were saying.

I went so far as to make him sleep in the guest room. Heh. Heh.

The next day, Kevin called D'oh at work and told him about the prank, and that we'd won a weekend getaway at a resort.

It was priceless and sweet, sweet revenge.

Bad idea. Bad, bad idea. So I'm in Pa on the east coast and get a webcam on the west coast. Cool, it's almost dawn. Then I figure Hawaii is good. Get that one -- it's dark. Then I'm trying for China, no luck. Finally try 'Honk Kong webcam' on Google. Oops. The schools web nanny software goes ballistic. Try again, same result. Next thing I know the schools principal is strolling in the classroom. Couple minutes later someone even higher up strolls in the classroom.

One night a friend and I swiped his pants on a night when we knew the station manager was coming in early the next day, and stapled them closed just above the knee. Funniest thing I ever saw...laying on the floor and trying to jam his legs into his pants, while cussing at us. He was a great guy. Another time we convinced him that the company was taking employee pictures, and everyone had to be dressed in suits for the occasion. After about two years, he took another job at Diego Garcia.

166 I am reminded of an incident that happened to the daughter of someone a friend of mine knows. She was married to a successful building contractor and for his birthday she planned a surprise party. He came home, walked into the dark foyer, and suddenly the lights went on and about fifty friends jumped out and screamed "Surprise!" He dropped dead of a heart attack right on the spot. Yes, surprises can be fatal.

Yeah, in 20/20 retrospect. But I couldn't figure out what country was in the area, in that time zone, where I could find a web cam. And actually didn't think, for one minute, that the principal of the school would think I'd be hooking up to some asian babe to check out her cooter during school hours.

That's a big 10-4 on the hindsight thingy. That seems to say a lot more about the fired principal than anything else.

Projection, how does it work? And why is it a mainstay of Leftard "thought?"

168 Posted by: Ruthless at April 04, 2013 07:19 PM (4Vr+0) Your nick reminds me of this: He took Ruth driving in his sporty convertible. As stylish as stylish could be. They hit a bump at ninety-five per. But he drove on ruthlessly.

170 Uh, no. It's either 12:00 noon (aka middle of the day) or it's midnight. But granted, the entire concept of the planet rotating with the sun 'rising' in the east and setting in the west is beyond the average persons IQ. Being able to figure that someone is to the west or east is apparently WAY beyond average IQ in these times. Posted by: Regular Moron at April 04, 2013 06:41 PM (feFL6) I can't even figure out what time it is the next time zone over.

171 new thread. ARGH! Now I know why people don't read the comments.

172 Speaking of April Fools. I just discovered that Al Roker is a real person. As God is my witness, I thought he was a character on South Park.

173 Remember when Dorn put the red tag in Rick Vaughn's locker? These are that kind of funny.

174 Anyone in Chicagoland ever listen to the Kevin Mathews radio show? He was fucking hilarious. I used to laugh so hard listening to him I'd have to pull off the road because of the tears. Those were the days. Kevin, Dorothy, Jimmy Shorts... Kevin: "Hey Jimmy, how long have we been on the air anyways?" Jimmy: "Long enough to suck..."

175 When I saw the murder prank, I said; "the sister did her one back and called the cops". Tee hee.

SHE looks like a ton of fun.

No. You don't quite get it either.

if it's midnight for Tami then twelve behind or twelve ahead would make it NOON whereever the twit was.

So she called at noon and said "I can't figure if you're twelve hours behind or twelve hours ahead."

And tami said " IT WOULD STILL BE MIDNIGHT."

Get it?

You, of course, did say to him; "but honey it's a JOKE!".
