Simon on Prank 911 Call, Britney on 'X Factor' Castoff

December 07, 2012 The X Factor
“Extra’s” Terri Seymour caught up with “The X Factor” mentors Simon Cowell, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato after Thursday’s double elimination show.
 
Cowell talked about the recent “swatting” prank that propelled him into the news. Simon explained, “I was asleep and the police turned out. They were told that I was tied up in my bedroom with duct tape.” Then he laughed to Terri, “You were probably behind it.”


Simon also admitted he has not yet bought "Extra" and "The X Factor” host Mario Lopez a wedding gift. “I'll get him one,” jokingly adding, “A signed autograph.”
 
Fellow mentor Britney Spears commented it was “disappointing” her charge Diamond White was eliminated. “She's so young, so she has the future ahead of her. She’s going to go far.”
 
The final four will compete next week in “The X Factor” semifinals. Tune in on FOX!

Another thing about "Swatting aka Pranks" what happens when the person to whom the "Swatting or Prank" is being played, or they have guests, security, think the "Police" are a "Prank" haven't you ever seen or heard of someone pretending to be a "cop", so guess what, this/these innocent people don't put their hands up, they grab something, a weapon, remember no one knows this a "joke". how many times have you seen or heard of someone holding a cell phone, etc., it's dark, the officers can't determine whether or not it's a gun. "Swatting, calling a hospital pretending to be a relative of a patient in order to speak to that person or get information on that person, should be made a felony, it can and has cost lives, it can and has cost thousands of dollars in taxpayers money. This isn't funny, it's sick and twisted.

What makes the "prank" played on Simon Cowell is, one would think after what just happened in the UK when a "harmless prank caused a wonderful nurse to commit suicide", "THEIR IS NO SUCH THING AS A HARMLESS PRANK" when those Police Officers entered Simon Cowell's home they had their guns drawn, this isn't funny, as in the horrible tragedy in the UK, a so called "Prank" has a very high potential of becoming deadly to some very innocent person. THESE PRANKS ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOT FUNNY AND ANYONE WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING HAS SOME SERIOUS EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS AND NEEDS HELP ASAP, THEY'RE ALSO COMPLETE IDIOTS AND STUPID.

Simon is SO hot!! But "swatting" isn't funny; if God forbid that ever happened for real, the police wouldn't take it seriously.
