Investigation Continues Into KFC Prank Call

Employees Left Standing Naked Outside Restaurant

POSTED: 5:05 pm EST February 27, 2009

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Police Friday were continuing to investigate a prank that left some Kentucky Fried Chicken employees naked outside the restaurant Thursday.

Investigators said the workers at the Manchester restaurant were victims of a mean and dangerous prank.

A manager pulled a pin for the restaurant's fire suppression system, which rained chemicals on her and others, because she was told to by a man on the phone claiming to be her boss from the corporate office.

"And then they were told by this person on the phone to go outside and disrobe and actually urinate on one another to decontaminate each other," said Lt. Peter Bartlett.

Police said that somehow, the prankster managed to keep the employees on the phone for 10 to 15 minutes. Only when someone in the parking lot called police to say a woman was standing in the doorway naked did police and fire show up, and that's when the prankster finally hung up.

Employees at the KFC didn't want to talk to reporters about what happened.

Police said that anyone receiving unusual instructions over the phone should try to verify the person's identity.

"If you're not sure about it, hang up, and make a phone call," Bartlett said. "And if you're not sure about that, call us."

Investigators said no one was injured in the prank.

Police are still trying to figure out who made the call. Many Web sites and blogs are reporting that it may have come from a man in Canada who often makes similar prank calls and posts them online.

Yes I remember watching a documentary about something really similar...apparently human psychology makes it really hard for us to disobey what we perceive as an authority figure.

Does anyone remember that pacificst nudist from Vice City Public Radio?

"If everyone was naked, there would be no war! How are you gonna use a flamethrower or a howitzer with all your junk hanging out?"

I find this hilarious.

I would feel bad, but those chicks are stupid. Even the toothless cross-eyed guy off the street would have double checked.

[Poophy]

You would think that the manager would have had some kind of orientation on what to do in the event of a fire, which would have included how to react to the chemicals

How big of a fucking tool do you have to be to do that shit. That shits more depressing than it is funny.

That's so mean. I bet they're so embarrassed. They should be less naive though.

I hope that manager was fired whilst still naked and outside.
