The prank, on paper, is pretty well done but if someone is going to do something this elaborate it better be over something that can not be interpreted in a way that is actually harmful. Things like making loved ones think you’re dead and the like. Making a convincing prank that he was involved with heavy drugs not funny

i think this also speaks to how good the premise of Breaking Bad is, too – the initial concept of “chemistry savvy guy hits desperate times, decides to make and sell some meth to get past it” is quite believable.

I have sometimes thought about writing a similar style pilot about a hacker. Think Mr. Robot meets Better Call Saul.
Has Negativland taught us nothing? It’s much easier to punk the real news.

One man’s “heavy drugs” is another man’s “morning pick-me-up before mowing the lawn ar 3 am.”

TRUE. Also, any Negativland fan would see him as a heroic figure, to be celebrated and revered.
I know I do.
