Doing something like this to innocent kids is sick, but come on guys, lets be reasonable. Could you clarify what exactly he did? Because in fact, he didn't do a god damn thing to anybody. Obviously the prosecutor is mentally retarded. I don't see anybody going after the pope for his child abuse crimes and this poor kid might get convicted for video editting. | ||

Prison time, let alone 20 years, is an absolute joke considering this a prank video. Community service with a fine is more adequate. No doubt that he went to far executing the prank, but 20 years? Get a fucking grip. Instead of posting 'AMERICA - FUCK YEA' I'll direct you to this excellent article by the Economist. Do read it. greatly summarizes my position. http://www.economist.com/node/16636027 | ||

I'm sure there's something there, but probably like a misdemeanor... which is all he deserves. Maybe this is just a litigation trick. Go for the 20 years felony because if you aim lower, he'll get off? You're right, though. It reminds me of the deception that went into the production of Borat. | ||

Imagine what would happen if some stupid troll think the vid is real and copy it? I don't think you understand the concept of trolling very well. OT: If this guy does get 20 years for this he will likely be stabbed if the news of his 'pedophilia' gets inside the cells. Poor guy doesn't look like he can last in prison. | ||

In BC, publishing/ posting this video with children's faces clearly visible would definitely be considered an invasion of privacy and he'd probably be hauled into court in a lawsuit. | ||

20 years is destroying someones life. He's 21 and 20 years in jail is taking out the main part of his life, what does he come do once he gets out? Not the greatest education etc. Just try putting yourself in his shoes, it is so unreasonable on so many levels. I'm not sure what to think of the US anymore, but this is outright ridicolous. | ||

if you're local, please write a letter or some shit because this is one of the most retarded thing i've ever heard. they're putting innocent man in jail because fucktards without sense of humor finds this offensive when no crime was committed. get a word out to dave chappelle and other various entertainers who have done similar things like this in their film/skit/short. since they all deserve 20 years in jail according to this law. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! | ||

He's attempting to ruin somebody's life. This has nothing to do with justice. The DA is the biggest jackass I've seen on the internet in ages, and that's saying something. | ||

Can I go to jail now for having a prank call video on youtube too? 20 years is destroying someones life.

What province are in? Because although he didn't do anything worthy of a life sentence, he definitely would've been in the wrong in BC by posting children's faces clearly visible for a purpose entirely different than parents would've been led to believe (if he even bothered to get parent's permission at all.) But maybe BC is a little more hyper about these things than the rest of Canada. | ||
