Reminds me of the time Graham Norton called up some poor shop-owner on national television and started soliciting him for gay sex. It was something to do with the name of the shop being a mild double-entendre (probably unintentionally). The shopkeeper started responding and seemed up for it. He also had a pretty strong Pakistani accent. Meaning there's a good chance his life was seriously adversely affected by having his homosexual negotiation broadcast to the nation.

Some people don't think. The top of the ******s list will always be reserved for Jonathon Ross and Russell Brand, I think.

That phone call to Andrew Sachs was absolutely hilarious, if you can listen to it and not laugh you're a liar

Three dots for an ellipsis is enough to make your point

I am more shocked that place hasn't been renamed.

Could quite easily be to do with raccoons.... Lots of places round here named after the animal that was prevelent at that spot.

Pretty much everywhere here is named after an animal or geographic feature.

I guess when you're in the middle of nowhere you can't name it after the local madman/landowner, and there are only so many generic names you can give...

Film was called Compliance.

God, I can see how someone might think a simple prank would be funny, but stripping a young girl and subjecting her to that for hours?

That's sick. Literally, someone that can do that to an innocent party for such an extended period isn't well.

I've never heard anything so unfunny (that was intended to be funny).

I'd rather listen to Shappi Khorsandi.

I wonder what the limit is of what a convincing telephone jokester could persuade people to do...

I deny all responsibility.

The one that got me was the manager that drove his car into the building following one of the prank calls.

You've got to be a complete idiot to believe any of these calls. Perform a body cavity search of your employee for drugs? Smash windows to let gas out? What on earth. No wonder they're in fast food...

True. One place nearby even resorted to the incredibly imaginative 'Wall'.

I can sort of get my head around the window smashing. I could see how someone could be mislead there.
But I cannot comprehend how someone could be mislead by an "authoritative" figure over the phone to perform sex acts.

You have to see the film but don't think it was 50 Shades Of Grey.
It was basically searching around naughty bits.

Whats most insane about that is the mansger who conducted the strip search (against policy) sued mcdonalds and won 1 million dollars in damages for not preparing her for a prank phone call asking her to sexually assult somone :/
