The Text-Your-Parents-Your-Drug-Deal Experiment

Posted by Soulskill on from the gets-interesting-when-they-say-you're-charging-too-much dept.

theodp writes "Having fooled major news outlets with a heartwarming-but-entirely-faked video of a pig rescuing a drowning goat, Nathan Fielder turned his attention to texting. CNET reports on the great Twitter 'text-your-parents-you're-a-drug-dealer' experiment, in which the Fielder called on his Twitter followers to text their moms and dads and (accidentally) reveal a drug deal. Fielder's tweet read: 'Experiment: text your parents "got 2 grams for $40" then right after "Sorry ignore that txt. Not for you." Then tweet pic of their response.' The reactions are various and, sometimes, hilarious."

    "Not to mention not nice to the ones who gave you life."

    Seriously? I just emailed the link to my son, telling him that I wanted to watch from the sidelines when he texted his mother. Are you suggesting that I am not nice?
