The Text-Your-Parents-Your-Drug-Deal Experiment 267
theodp writes "Having fooled major news outlets with a heartwarming-but-entirely-faked video of a pig rescuing a drowning goat, Nathan Fielder turned his attention to texting. CNET reports on the great Twitter 'text-your-parents-you're-a-drug-dealer' experiment, in which the Fielder called on his Twitter followers to text their moms and dads and (accidentally) reveal a drug deal. Fielder's tweet read: 'Experiment: text your parents "got 2 grams for $40" then right after "Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you." Then tweet pic of their response.' The reactions are various and, sometimes, hilarious."

Simple. iOS lusers are far more sheeplike and willing to follow stupid suggestions like this one.

Ah come on, what sort of a relationship do you have with your family if you can't play a little prank on them from time to time.
Perhaps the kind of relationship where one or more of the parties is under the care of a cardiologist.

"I'd rather risk prison rape than people talking to me in soft voices about how I feel."
I've heard those soft voices twice in my life. It took about ten minutes each to make them understand that they were wasting their time.
"Do you love your mother?"
"Do you?"
"Do I what?"
"Do you love my mother?"
"Ahem - maybe we should start over. Do you like your father?"
"No, I can't say that I do - why?"
"Please just answer the questions."
"No - I'm tired of this game."
"But - this isn't a game!"
"Cool, because I'm not playing."
The shrink realizes that he is upset with me, and that I'm playing HIM, rather than the game. So he informs me that the "interview" is over.
The Commander just told me that I had to show up for the appointment. He can't tell me how to answer any questions!

You are walking through the desert as you see a turtle lying on its back. You do not help the turtle. Why won't you help the turtle?
