That is not a prank that is a sexual assault and brutalization. I don't find most pranks that are an attempt to humiliate someone funny.

Sometimes, i guess. Not big on them, though. Think they're stupid most of the time.

Yes

that's not a prank, but a criminal assault with sexual component.

these guys probably did not like that the boy was staying there for family reasons.

this was very brute and hateful, these guys need better education.

but lately I watched "karate kid" with that jaden smith boy.

it was a very cruel movie. something is not running well in both societies, china and US...

There is a distinct difference between a carefully crafted and enacted prank and physical assault. What those adults did was assault on a minor and they should be charged accordingly. A carefully crafted and executed prank is one that does not pose grievous injury to any party. Otherwise, it's just being a massive tool.

..and whenever anyone pulls a "prank" on me, (or "practical joke", or whatever you want to call it) I retaliate with a vengeance, and they DEEPLY regret their "prank" for the rest of their life, and it NEVER, EVER happens a second time..

Pranks are designed to humiliate someone and that is not even close to funny. All too often they end up like this and hurt someone. When that happens there should be some kind of special punishment for there stupidity.

No never have, causing others embarrassment or pain just is not funny to me.

This CNN report should be called attempted murder not a prank

Pranks are OK if they don't hurt or humiliate any one. BUT THIS IS JUST Way beyond a prank, this is ABUSE.

That wasn't a prank. A prank is putting a whoopee cushion under a couch cushion for someone to sit on. A prank is exchanging the salt and sugar. Pranks are harmless. That was rape and abuse.
