That porn noise prank on the football

Yes it was kind of funny, and horrifying, I laughed, but I was very relieved that my kids weren't watching at the time.

Anyway, 'd'h didn't see it either, but has obviously heard about it on social media etc today and knows exactly what it was all about. Well he's just come across it (no pun intended) on YouTube on the family TV in the living room, amongst his usual searches for football clips, and I was hoping he'd quickly flick past it as the kids are sitting there too. But oh no, he says "oh, this'll be funny, I haven't seen it yet" and starts playing the clip. I told him to turn it off straight away and he just went, "it's only noises, it's funny!" Ok then, you explain porn and orgasms to your children, go ahead. FFS. I told him he's out of order and I'm really annoyed at him, as I am 99% of the time actually, as you might already know if you've read any of my other posts.

Anyway, AIBU to be upset that he's thinks it's fine to play porn sounds in front of the kids on purpose? Last night it was one of those moments you couldn't have expected or escaped from very easily, but this was intentionally playing the clip which he could easily have watched in private later on. DS15 may very well know about this kind of thing, but would be super embarrassed to be stuck there with his dad voluntarily playing the clip, and DS11, well I just want to shelter him a bit longer. To me he's just thick and I'm sick of him.

I heard it and I didn't realise it was supposed to be an orgasm - it's was just a stupid noise, so yes, you are being a bit OTT!

I don’t think it’s funny.

I saw it and thought yuck. It wasn't funny or clever. I also saw the Youtube video of the alleged losers who did the prank. It's interesting they chose a female moaning voice rather than a male's so there are sexist undertones to the prank. That it would be more funny and humiliating if it's a woman's voice moaning for the benefit of the male viewers titillation and at the discomfort of any female viewers, staff or participants.

When you think of people doing crazy stunts, risking criminal record or even their own mortality for a noble cause, as a way to protest or raise awareness of something, the best those guys could come up with was a porn sound clip. Pathetic.

This 💯

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 21:53

The people who understood it have had this "meme" with the exact same sound sent to them several times before on WhatsApp.

You lot are clearly not in that demographic 🙈

ssd · 18/01/2023 21:55

It sounded like a mad ring tone, nothing else

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 21:56

"And people saying it doesn’t sound like porn, the prankster w/er intended it to sound like porn sounds being broadcast. That’s the point"

No. That's not the point 🙈. The point is it's a very well known sound that accompanies a prank WhatsApp.

The idea being that the recipient opens their phone in public to watch what appears to be a normal video and then suddenly this recording plays out loudly.

It's the exact same sound so people are now familiar with it and the point is this prankster got it played to a big audience rather than just embarrassing your mate Dan at his Granny's.

See, if they were little, it could have been brushed off as a donkey or whatever, but DS15 couldn't get away fast enough when he could see what his dad was about to play... And DS11 looked as if he didn't know what to do. Anyway, I accept maybe I am BU. Fair enough.

You are absolutely not being unreasonable. Just because children have been exposed to porn we shouldn’t just shrug our shoulders and say ah well they’ve heard it before it’s fine to broadcast on bbc at half past seven. It’s so creepy that this guy choose to do this! As far as I am concerned there is no difference between this and those complete arseholes that a few years ago went through a craze of putting clips of porn in the middle of cartoons on YouTube. In any other context people would see this for what it is - trying to expose people to content they have not chosen to see or hear. As I already said for the purposes of this prank he could have chosen to broadcast ANYTHING. I know it’s a WhatsApp thing - though to be honest it’s hardly current, that’s been going around a long time - so why did this prick think it’s ok? I really hope he is prosecuted, attention seeking moron. I am aghast so many women accept this as reasonable.

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 21:59

"If the (w/er) prankster wanted to do this he could have put baby shark on repeat"

Eh? But that's not a current, viral prank. In fact it was never a viral prank 🙈🤣

I hate porn with the best of them (and I'm old) but there's something amusing about all the people who are totally missing the point 🤣🤣

Wrong. I just don’t think it’s reasonable to broadcast it on tv in the early evening.

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 22:01

"Wrong. I just don’t think it’s reasonable to broadcast it on tv in the early evening."

Neither do I. But you're conflating two separate things there. It's the baby shark argument again 🙈🤣

Yeah but nobody was looking at their phone on the programme and opened it did they? That would be a more reasonable explanation. It was a hidden phone. The whole point of the meme is that you open it. No one opened this. A prick decided to try and get more attention for himself since he has been banned from every football stadium in the country and he decided to do it by broadcasting what he hoped would be heard as orgasmic noises. It’s indefensible and it’s seriously worrying that people think it’s just a laugh

I'm referring to all those saying, sounds like a donkey/baby etc. and your point that he could've played baby shark. Well why the fuck would he do that?

And yes, he's a total prick.

Hang on, so you agree you don’t think it’s ok to broadcast it at that time of the evening but it’s ok to broadcast it at that time of the evening. Make it make sense 🫠

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 22:06

When did I says it's ok? Fucking hell. Calm down with the head melt

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 22:07

You make it make sense, banging on about baby shark and completely missing the point helps nobody

We all know it’s a meme dear, apart from attention seeking what’s this guy’s point in exposing people to pseudo porno material? You ok with a teacher showing it at the start of a presentation in school? It’s a meme after all?!

RenoDakota · 18/01/2023 22:11

I was watching it at the time and thought it sounded like a donkey too!

Annoyingwurringnoise · 18/01/2023 22:17

I’ve been up close and personal with quite a few women having orgasms, including myself, and I can safely say that sounded nothing like a woman having an orgasm.

Eh? No. I'm not ok with any of it. Are you pissed? You're reading someone else's posts if not. And ODFOD with your misogynistic "dear" Confused

oakleaffy · 18/01/2023 22:18

Well I googled and it sounded more like a whining wailing dog to me!?
Our dog certainly looked alert!

Aloezebra · 18/01/2023 22:19

I wouldn’t be worried about having to explain porn or orgasms to your children but I think it’s very weird of him to knowingly play porn sounds in front of his children! He didn’t know what it sounded like before playing it, he didn’t know how graphic it was (or wasn’t) ! Fair enough to the people’s who’s children heard it by accident no one could’ve suspected that but I don’t think you should knowingly subject people to listening to porn, particularly children!

LordSugarTits · 18/01/2023 22:19

Same!
More like an unhappy dog left by it’s owner.

"I think it’s very weird of him to knowingly play porn sounds in front of his children! He didn’t know what it sounded like before playing it, he didn’t know how graphic it was (or wasn’t) !"

He knew exactly what it sounded like when he strapped that phone there and played it. He intended to play that exact clip over and over.
