          And every day, someone posts a phone number and an address of a Gamestop, with the name of an associate to ask for... it's retarded. I feel really bad for the people who get caught in the stupid prank.

          Maybe Gamestop should send out Rick Astley clips...
          How about Gamestop put in a report for harrassment. If they're allowing the posting of numbers and directions on how to harrass the employees, that is clearly an actionale offense, although action might be difficult to take.

            Nearly impossible. /b/ doesn't care. /b/ is Anonymous. The best that Gamestop could do is report the people actually making the calls.

              I know what the game is - I played it when I was little. But I just don't see how calling up and asking if a place has it, is funny at all. Most pranks, while stupid, I can see why the pranksters think it's funny. But this one...what sort of enjoyment do they get? Seriously?
              "Do you have battletoads?"
              "No."
              ....I see no satisfaction here.

                As satisfying as pwning the /b/tard to his face may have been, I can see how it may have backfired. Namely, I saw a picture of what appeared to be pre-release promotional items for a Wii version of Battletoads. It was convincing enough that I thought the whole Battletoads meme might be due to BattleToads vaporware that was constantly being pushed back. Had I gone into a Gamestop asking for information about the game (since they would know, right?) and gotten that response I would have been quite unhappy.

                Having said that, though, I'm pretty sure it was obvious that he was a /b/tard. Also, I would have just asked for any information, and not done so in a way as to suggest that I was playing a prank.

                      4channers - mostly /b/tards.

                      (yeah yeah - rule 1 and 2 broken.)
                      Rules one and two are only for raids.

                      although sounds like the prank callers didn't break them

                      You were probably targeted by one of the smaller chans.

                        SC: Do you guys have battletoads?
                        Me: No.
                        SC: Can you look?
                        ME: No, I can't look, and I'm not going to do a barrel roll or shoop de whoop, I'm not charging my lasers, I don't like mudkip, and I'm not going to use the boost to chase. You do know that everytime you guys call up here we call the police and trace the phone calls, now how happy do you think your mom's going to be when she gets a phone call about someone from your number making harassing phone calls? It gets old fast, really.
                        SC:
                        Me: Yeah. You can leave now.

                        I win!
                        Just want to point out that Battletoads is a real game, albeit an old one, and is widely described as being very good, causing a lot of poeple to try to find a copy used. Just a quick search turned up some comments on one message board where one guy says he called a local gamestop where they had the gameboy version in stock, and he rushed over and bought it. The post right before that was a guy saying he'd asked for it at gamestop, and they threw him out of the store.

                        So, while it seems you get a lot of prank callers asking for Battletoads, unlike "Grand Theft Auto: Johnson City" it actually exists, and that kid may have genuinely wanted a copy.

                            The fact that it exists is part of the prank. And also, it's widely regarded as one of the TOUGHEST games ever. Want proof? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idZ9C0Qtj2A
                            Try and imagine doing that without memorizing it.

                              You missed a few micro internet phenomena related comebacks. A few more and it would have been an epic win.

                              I can haz cheezeburger (and you can't)
                              The Internet is Here (and its gonna get ya)
                              You could have taken his picture and turned it into a demotivational poster.
                              Made a Face Book group against SC Prank Callers.
                              Read his mySpace blog about how he loves Battle Toads and the guy at [generic game store] will not sell him a copy.
                              Told him to Ask a Ninja.
                              Told him that Ceiling cat was watching him (always)
                              Told him that a furry just bought the last copy.
                              Told him that you will not sell him the game because "This is Sparta!"
                              Called the Mall Ninja (look it up, you will not be let down)
                              Just told him that you were Anonymous, you were legion, and he looked like a Scientologist.
                              Told him to go download the torrent from a pirate site.
                              Told him to come back on Caturday.
                              or
                              Looked at him and said "FAIL!".

                              Well I bet I missed more than a few of these micro cultural references myself. Still congratulations on winning one for the workers.
