    I doubt it.  If anything, they probably are more prevalent since there are more avenues in which to prank and do something obscene like text and/or email by phone.  The possibilities are endless if you are a moron.

  • They died with call display, that was before cell phones.

      I know, right?  Ever since I blocked your number, no more of your heavy-breathing calls, perverted sexual requests from you, immature jokes, booty calls, etc.  Hey, wait a second; that was the only action I was getting!

      Jaimie, you look wonderful!  Are you doing something different with your hair these days?  That blouse is a perfect match for your eyes, I love it.  
    This tea tastes kind of funny, though . . . special blend?

      Wait, I just noticed that all the doors are locked, and why are the security bars on the insides of the windows?  There's some kind of gritty residue in this tea, and what's with that weird aftertaste?  My head hurts and my tongue is swelling up, I . . . I can barely . . . I can't focus . . . why are there two of you, Jaimie . . . I have to get out of . . .

    Oh, they're still happening - and in much greater numbers than before...  

    * Obscene phone calls turned into (ahem)-pics.  Drop, snap, post (at least one could "unsee" a heavy breather).

    * Prank calls turned into SPAM calls.  However, many of the "pranksters" have gotten lazy; now they robo-calls (Prince Albert says you've won the lottery.  Just send $500 to his can to cover postage and handling).

  • Maybe .. but there are so many robocallers now.  They outnumber the number of prank callers I received in my lifetime!

    Exactly what I was going to say! I'd happily trade an occasional prank call for the daily telemarketing BS!

    Kids today may not be clever enough to pull off any really great prank calls.   They are good at staring at screens though.

    I don't know where you get this information, but KIDS TODAY ARE PRACTICALLY GENIUSES COMPARED TO KIDS WHEN I WAS A KID.

    Clever and genius are not synonyms.

    Thrifty, don't do this.  You cannot debate me.  You will lose.  

    I did not SAY they were, now did I?  Do not debate me on the intelligence of kids these days compared to kids in prior generations.  And do not debate me about Trump.  Please.  

    The kids today are BRILLIANT.  There are kids in every generation that water down the smart.  Of course.   We have nutrients, we have access to training them, we have parents who copulate that are geniuses and we have more parents alive today.  We have a lot of MORONS out there reproducing. Sure.  Those kids don't have much of a chance.  But, still, kids are popping up world-wide that are far superior than anything tested before.  

    The fact that the populous alone is ten times that of yesteryear when we were kids, allows for more smarties.
