SSH Computer Possession Prank – Part VI
You’ve already seen Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, and Part Five. Now for Part Six!
Disclaimer: This prank involves some steps taken which may be ethically unacceptable if abused. I assure you that we did not do anything to harm anyone, and we certainly wouldn’t encourage that kind-of behavior. It was all in kind-hearted fun, and though we had absolute power over Jordan’s computer, we only ever utilized it for comedy.
March 29, 2010 – March 31, 2010
Over these few days, we decided to take it slow in preparation for the grand finale which would fall on April Fools day. We did say some of the usual things, but nothing extremely novel or different. There was a lot of talk about what we would do on the final day, and we decided that Mark would send him to a website he found that explained how to remove the infection, and that process would mimic this scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Creepy, right?
April 1, 2010 – Part One
At this point, Mark and I had created the website we were going to send Jordan to. Everything was set up, but to make sure he didn’t put off removing it to some non-April-Fools day, we wanted the computer to begin making threats.
So it started off with a simple knock knock joke. Jordan participated vocally, and enjoyed the lame joke.
I then said something like “I can’t let you visit that website Jason…” followed by “April Fools!” Coincidentally and unintentionally, this occurred exactly as he had opened a browser window.
But then we decided to get inappropriate… “Do you like racist jokes?”
We then threw in some black jokes, like: “A black guy and his girlfriend are in a car, who’s driving?… The police!” and “A black guy walks into a bar with a beautiful parrot on his shoulder. The bartender asks, where’d you get that? ‘Africa’ says the parrot.”
At this point, Jordan thought what was going on was hilarious. He ran into my room to tell me what was going on. I couldn’t stop laughing.
But then, we decided to get closer to home, and proceeded to tell 6 or 7 Jew jokes, since our good friend Jordan is indeed Jewish.
Jokes like, “How can you tell Jews are living next door?… There’s wet toilet paper hanging from the clothesline.” and “What’s the goal of Jewish football?… To get the quarter-back.”
He came in to my room concerned that his computer was being racist against him, focusing on the Jewish jokes. He asked that Dave and I stay in his room and wait for the next joke. Obviously I couldn’t send a full joke while I was in his room, so instead I used my phone to say “No more jokes.”
Jordan then spent the next few minutes talking to his computer asking it to tell more jokes, to which it eventually replied “Please stop that.”
I then went back to my room and started making threats like, “Don’t talk to me that way… you don’t know what I’m capable of.” Jordan then said something like, “What are you going to do about it?” So I sent his browser to YTMND.
This was followed by a series of more and more threats, and then it concluded with “I’m giving you the silent treatment.”
Which it obviously didn’t. We kept on playing ACDC whenever Jordan left the room.
Later on, the computer had a marital-type conflict between a male and female synthesized voice.
Stay tuned next time for the exciting conclusion–the removal process!
