<p>My friend is planning this prank where she goes to those DVD or CD clubs and requests four movies or whatever for like, 49 cents, then has to buy two at normal price, then you get four more for 49 cents. Well, she is going to pick out weird movies and have them sent to several teachers at our school for a prank. She doesn’t have the internet and is trying to get me to help her request the movies online. I am wondering, if I helped her out, can they trace me? Does anyone know if it is possible for one of the teachers to call the DVD club and ask for a trace? I’m obviously not listing my email, so can they figure out who sent the request at all? I’m just trying to make sure i wouldn’t get in trouble for my friend’s antics.</p>
<p>The only sure-fired method for you to remain blame-free would be to decline the request.</p>
<p>The problem is I really like the prank and a lot of people are gunning for it to happen. We’re just looking to see if it would be anonymous.</p>
<p>It sounds like a dumb prank to me
Most of the fun involves seeing the reaction- how are you going to see their reaction?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Agreed. (+ chars)</p>
<p>There is no possible way they could trace the DVDs back to you. How would the teachers know they came from a particular DVD club. Even if they somehow found out, the company could not divulge personal information about their customers to some random teacher.</p>
<p>try a public library…tell your friend to do it so you’re not involved just incase</p>
<p>Don’t do it, you will take any/all of the blame. I’m sure the movies are individually coded and it would take no time to trace the bar code to your account.</p>
<p>Also, when the teachers don’t return the movies, your account will be charged (unless your prankster friend is buying them).</p>
<p>Why chance messing up YOUR (assumedly) good rep by getting involved in this “prank” that sounds like a lose/lose proposition to me. Don’t see any winner in this, except possibly the club selling the DVD or CDs. I suspect whomever is involved will have to provide financial & other info, risking ID theft & who knows what else. “Friends” like this are not doing you (or anyone else) a favor.</p>
<p>If you want to buy strange titles of DVDs or CDs, you can do it at the $1 store or Walmart for low prices. Honestly, I still don’t see the point.</p>
<p>Here are some soundboards: <a href=“http://www.ebaumsworld.com/soundboards.shtml[/url]”>http://www.ebaumsworld.com/soundboards.shtml</a></p>
<p>Throw back a few brews, pick a soundboard you think is funny, and prank call your teachers! lolZ! </p>
<p>Or not. If you want laughs, rent a Will Ferrell movie, or watch South Park or something.</p>
<p>gee I wonder what kind of response you are going to get on the parents forum…?</p>
<p>i would let your friend use your computer but dont use your credit card.</p>
<p>I don’t understand. It doesn’t seem like much of a prank to me. Unless these are inappropriate movies, it seems no more prank-like than requesting that information about a women’s college be sent to your male friend. If there’s some reason that I’m missing that you would get in trouble for this, stay out of it. It’s not worth it to be involved in something risky and not particularly fun or amusing.</p>
<p>If ‘alot of people are gunning for it to happen’, then let one of them step up and volunteer their internet service for the job…oh, wait…seems they all can’t step back fast enough…</p>

<p>The fact that teachers and high schools can be very difficult to predict regarding what they will and won’t punish students for, and how severe the punishment will be.</p>
<p>If you participate in this, be ready to face the consequences. I am sure it will be very easy to trace the DVDs back to you.</p>
<p>“The problem is I really like the prank and a lot of people are gunning for it to happen. We’re just looking to see if it would be anonymous.”</p>
<p>The problem is that someone will probably get in trouble for this (depending on what you mean by “weird movies”), and I doubt that any of those people who are “gunning for it to happen” will come to the rescue or take any responsibility.</p>
<p>I agree that harmless pranks can be funny but this one just seems dumb-
Some of Ds teachers ahve enjoyed the pranks as long as they aren’t mean or destructive, and have gotten good stories out of them- but for that to happen they have to be clever and you have to take the chance that you are going to get into trouble.
But buying dumb DVDs to send to teachers?
I think you have already milked what ever amusement you are going to get out of this one</p>
<p>the very fact that your asking people on an internet forum for opinions shows that you’re skeptical about the idea; remember, there can be negative consequences to your little “prank”</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be more fun to fill a paper bag with dog poop and place it in front of the teacher’s front door, then light the bag on fire and ring the door bell? You get to watch the teacher come out and step on the bag of dog poop trying to put out the fire. Hopefully the teacher’s house doesn’t burn down or the teacher receive serious burns. Anyway, that’s what the really demented kids used to do for fun when I was young.</p>
<p>If you’re using a computer and you have an internet connection, it’s not anonymous. Period. Anything you transfer over the net can be traced if someone really wants to do so. That is unless you’re really internet savvy and can do all sorts of weird programming stuff - but since you’re asking this question, I think it’s safe to assume that you can’t.</p>
