The "Prank" is bordering on offensive.

Are you just trying to be a "wise" guy and act smart? How on earth is this offensive? If you want your "complaint" to be taken seriously, how about elaborating rather than trying to look down upon everyone eh?

That's like talking to a female coworker could be considered sexual harassment.



You don't have a brother, do you? :rolleyes:

Yes I do, actually, and no, we weren't that mean spirited to each other. By the way, he's 44, I'm 49. So big brother didn't need to spy on little brother, nor try to make a fool out of him. If you don't want him looking at something on your computer, password protect it so he can't get on it.

I think you are completely missing the point of this thread.

If you can't understand the concept of brotherly banter, and the fact that he's letting his brother use his Mac because he has nothing else to do while he's crashing on his couch, then really you shouldn't even have bothered posting here.

All you've done is derailed this thread and are trying to stir up trouble - and you obviously have absolutely no sense of humour at all.

Oh, I have a good sense of humor. Just not when it comes to childish antics. And if you think I might have derailed this thread, maybe something IS wrong with it. :mad:

Having just found this thread, I'm very impressed.

As I recall, people have been wanting a program similar to this for what seems like an eternity, and then all of a sudden we get someone make it for us.

While I wouldn't be at all impressed if I was the victim of such a prank, the sheer magnitude of it and the effort that has gone into it is incredible.

Whilst slightly offensive I suppose, nothing offensive was posted.

I enjoyed reading this anyway. :)

Just for the record...

my brother is soon to be 21, so there goes your child porn theory... furthermore, he thought it was funny, and we laughed about it. also, i wouldn't have done it if i thought it would take a picture of anything BUT his face.

I think you're a little outnumbered here on the "offensive vs non-offensive" debate... this thread has five stars, after over 20k visits.

Calm down, it didn't hurt anyone, and it brought a lot of people laughs.

Everyone just tuning in- PICTURES ON PAGE FIVE..:D

If he is under age, ANY pic sent, could be considered as Child Porn, and is a criminal offense.

BTW, As a Law Enforcement Officer, I say that you are wrong. If you are a moderator of some sort then stick with moderating and not posting the "legalities" of what you feel may or may not be a criminal offense. Whether you are a moderator or not, if you do decide to, feel free to post the state/federal statute along with your accusations.

in a Housssseeee!
That is a great idea! The OP does have an iPhone, so it would be a cinch to do! That would have been a great addition, though the prank is already done...





That's great, and it would have been fairly easy to do too! I should have done the Uploading Bar, then started taking more pictures and the opening them up. THAT would have created a lot of shock!

avihappy could you please email me? I am a novice here and have some questions for you... Thanks! email address is in profile

Just a quick question.... Does it snow up there, you know, where your head is because it is so far up your a*&e there is no way the sun could get there!
Get over it, this thread has shown people bonding together sharing similar interest and showing what is capable when working on a mac. Your whole child porn issue is blown out of the water. There is no way in hell this could be classified as that even if he was under 18, a picture of his face??? Please, stop stealing peoples air!
