Oh, Look, Mom's Panicked And Upset. How Hilarious

It was stupid, of course, for a teen to recruit his friends to prank his mother with a fake armed robbery so that he could post it on YouTube and go viral. All it did was get him arrested, and it's also a reminder that this kind of prank culture, amped by social media, is really cruelty. It's always been cruelty, whether it's "Punk'd" or today's crop of Tom Green wanna-bes, although Tom Green's schtick was more making fun of himself for putting his parents through his antics than cruel like the imitators, who just punch down. Pranks with victims are about making fun of people who aren't in on the joke. Kinda sucks. (WJW-TV/Cleveland)
