MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. (AP) - Two central Florida teens who posted
a prank on YouTube are getting a taste of their own medicine.
The boys, ages 15 and 16, tossed a cup of soda at a Merritt
Island fast-food worker and then posted a video of it on YouTube.
The "fire in the hole" video generated millions of online hits.
But Brevard Circuit Court Judge Morgan Reinman didn't think it
was funny. On Monday, he ordered the teens to post a videotaped
apology to the victim on YouTube.
In the video, the teens say they "take full responsibility"
for their "irresponsible behavior."
The teens are charged with two counts of battery and one count
of criminal mischief. Prosecutors say the boys must serve 100 hours
of community service and send letters to the victims to have the
charges dropped.
