Just bring back flogging. You'd never, EVER see a group of Singaporean teens even contemplating doing something this pointlessly malicious, because the risk/reward ratio is far too high.

i'm sure in this day and age we're surprised they didn't get life sentences and a 25,000 fine.

haha, I didn't finish all the comments but this was a skit from I believe the first or second (2K) of CKY's videos. However these movies were made about 10 or so years ago and in the film (featuring Bam Margera and the rest of the crew from Jackass) they ordered food and drinks from i believe a McDonald's and once they received their drinks they flung the drink back at the employee saying "Fire in the hole" I must admit it takes guts to pull a prank on somebody, maybe thats just because I'm a scardy cat, but it takes real stupidity to post a video of yourselves on the number one visited movie site. I agree with most of the other comments that they were let off fairly easy, I would like to see them punished further, maybe another 200 or so community service hours, and maybe a week in jail. I hate criminals for obvious reasons but I loathe teenagers for their stubborness and attempts to make themselves appear comical.

OMG, a punishment that actually fits the crime? Weird.
Some of you people are really sick by the way. You wanna give a couple of teenagers JAIL TIME for tossing a pop at someone?
Do you have actual memories of your youth or has that whole time in your life gone black in your minds? I'm sure plenty of your egged a house or tp'd someone or soaped windows and at worst had to clean it up as punishment.
Jails are overcrowded enough with people who shouldn't be there. No need to start tossing in smartassed kids who toss a drink on someone.

Good order by the judge. A departure from tradition, and possibly more effective.
