No one is considering this an act of terrorism. But trying to cast this as a harmless prank may be equally unfounded.

When I was 14, people in my Jr. High School used these modded cameras to deliberately hurt people, myself included. I didn't find it that funny.

Considering the demographics of this site, I can't imagine I'm the only one who has fond school memories of repeated, unpunished assault. So going to bat for this kid strikes me as crappy, even if that 600v stat is trumped up.

I met the guy who makes the prosthetic ears these (and other) folks use. I thought he had a awesome job then...now, he might be the coolest person on the face of the earth.

Proving that someone can make a living selling prosthetic elf ears is reason enough to buy a pair.
