Prankster Stunts Everywhere, Supposedly

There's a bizarre craze threatening the very fabric of society, but luckily the Wall Street Journal is bringing it to our attention so we can protect our children and alert Congress. "Inane pranks" are apparently sweeping cities: One recent weekend fake zombies "idly roamed" the streets in San Francisco, while in New York people in Union Square—get this—"danced to music no one else could hear."
Your rising panic might be slightly lessened by the fact that this generation (which as we know can't tear itself away from the internet long enough to do anything right) isn't living up to the political fire and subversiveness of past era's pranksters.
"The bar's been really lowered," says "longtime media prankster" Joe Skaggs. "There's a lot of junk out there calling itself pranks." Still, if you're in a restaurant this weekend and half the customers suddenly freeze in one place, you'll know not to be too alarmed.
