Burger King customers told: 'You are too fat to have a Whopper'

Police believe teenage pranksters are hacking into the wireless
frequency of a US Burger King drive-through speaker to tell potential
customers they are too fat for fast food.

Policeman Gerry Scherlink said the pranksters told one customer who
had just placed an order: "You don't need a couple of Whoppers. You
are too fat. Pull ahead."

The offenders are reportedly tapping into the wireless frequency at
the restaurant in Troy, Michigan. Police believe the culprits are
watching and broadcasting from close range.

Officer Scherlinck said the men are telling customers who order a
Coca-Cola that, "We don't have Coke." And when the customer asks what
they do have, the hacker would say: "We don't have anything. Pull
ahead."

But what has managers concerned is the profanity the hackers are
using, according to police.

A drive-through customer has told police if he had children with him
in the car and someone used profanity, he would have been upset.

Burger King franchise owner Tony Versace issued the following
statement in response to the incidents: "We apologise to our customers
who've been insulted by the use of this drive-through speaker."

Management at the fast-food restaurant are reportedly trying to change
the radio frequency used for the speakers, reports Local 4.

humor!

This is a VERY VERY old Scanner Trick.
Im a scanner enthusiast and I hear loads of interesting shiznit
on my scanner! I can get Wendys and Mickey-Dees and although
Im gonna get slammed for this, YES Ive listened to peoples
cellphones and cordless phones!
Ive heard a cellphone conversation where a "john" ordered a prostitute
and the pimp told him "She is better than Pamela Anderson!" The Pimp
made sure that the john had the pimps phone number and I wrote it down
I called the pimp back and told him I had heard EVERY word and "What would
your mom or sisters think? Why do you think you deserve a cut of the money
etc"
He told me I performed an illegal act and I told him "Aint that the pot
calling the
kettle black?" He hung up on me!

I listen to all the Taxi cabs in the area and heard a poor cabbie crash his
cab
into a aqua barrier and tell Dispatch he was about to pass out !!!
I was so worried about that cabbie I called the Cab company the next day to
find out if he was okay!

I have done this joke back around 1990. We would park a car behind the
drive-through ordering station and hook up a CB radio with the PA speaker
attached. With another CB radio across the parking lot, we would speak to
the driver... It sounded almost like the real speaker..... had a
blast!
