Justin Bieber Cone-Ing Prank: Too Far? (VIDEO, POLL)


First Posted: 08/01/11 01:31 PM ET Updated: 10/01/11 06:12 AM ET

The more we see videos of "cone-ing", the creepier the nascent trend seems. To refresh your memory, cone-ing entails driving up to a drive-through restaurant, ordering a cone of soft-serve ice cream, then grabbing the wrong end of the cone when the drive-through attendant tries to hand it to you. It's messy. And unlike planking, to which is often compared, cone-ing involves an unwitting victim in the drive-through attendant.

That's why we were hesitant when we saw Justin Bieber tweet a video of himself cone-ing at a couple drive-throughs. As it turns out, the cone-ing went just fine, but there were some other not-so-nice moments in the video. Why, Bieber, do you abuse your powers so? Didn't you see Spiderman? Also: what's with the earring?

Watch the video, and decide for yourself whether you think Bieber's prank was funny, mean or both.

Quick Poll

What do you think of Bieber's cone-ing prank?

HILARIOUS

It's a little harmless fun, that's all.

Childish—he should know better.

Shame on Bieber!

A harmless prank. Hardly a prank. Certainly not "too far." And it won't hurt his brand: http://merriamassociates.com/2011/08/justin-bieber-in-brand-endorsement-trouble/

I never understood why people like to prank the lowest of us on the totem pole.

There are some CEO's who really need to made a fool of.

What the hell is funny about a rich spoiled brat harassing people who are working a terrible job for low wages?

The last laugh is on Bieber. In a few years the only work he will be able to find is working at one of those drive-throughs, HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was alot younger when I was a Manager of a BK, Back in the late 80s through mid 90s I would have told him to get out or I would beat the crap out of him. Now It would be policy to replace it even if it came from another place. Of course if someone tried it a couple of times then they would be refused

I'm waiting for the next latest fad "Cone-joining". Two ice cream cones joined together at their tops. Try eating that!
