    now i feel lame for just sending polite email to the kid at school who saved his password on a school computer. from his own account, natch. next time i have permission from his mom to change his email password. i’ll have to see if he uses the same password on his youtube account.

    Your prank has served as a valuable PSA for my preschooler. After watching the vid with me, she went back to playing, then spontaneously advised “Mom, don’t share your password with anyone, that’s not good.”

    This. A million times this. (Great performance, Mr Wheaton! The chest-pounding was epic.)

    This was the kindest, most gentle prank in history.

    Nice.

    Recently got ye olde “group email gave my email address to those who shouldn’t have it” attack. Wish my version of online bullshit had produced such lovely results. Thanks to all for making me smile today. I needed it.

    Evil. Just plain evil.
    Well done.
