There are interventions, and then there's setting up an elaborate prank to convince your buddy he's been in a coma for ten years in an last-ditch effort to save his life
When their serial DUI-ing buddy got passed-out drunk again, Tom Mabe and Jim Clark launched what they called the "Epic Don't Drink and Drive Prank": They converted an office into a hospital room completely with persuasive medical gear and proceeded to make their friend believe he had crashed his car and was just now waking up from a ten-year coma.
I'm not entirely sure how much their prank "worked," but, at the very least, Mabe and Clark finally found a prank worth pulling.

Holy shit, you guys gotta watch that video @ the 2:50 mark. Best news cast ever. I won't leave any spoilers.

The embedded vid doesn't work, but if you click on the gawker link you can see it. Pretty epic.

In all honesty, I think they could have milked all their hard work a little more. I would have let him sit for a week. Or told him that he killed his whole family in a car crash.

When I black out drunk - I could be tricked into thinking I done something terrible.
But no way I would buy that I have being in a coma for ten years.
I don't think the guy in the video was convinced either.

Greatest friends EVER. Even an intervention would be less work (and less shocking) than this.
For better or worse, they care about this dude.
Also, that was hilarious from beginning to end.

Wouldn't he immediately have found it weird that they kept his beard trimmed at the exact same length that whole time? and that coming to from a coma felt eerily similar to waking up hungover?

He's disoriented, and he can't see himself.

Question for you guys.
There's been a bunch of threads recently about male friendships, and other blogs have put up good posts too.
At what point do you just cut someone out of your life?
We all had a laugh at that video, but surely those guys have tried to talk to him about this shit before.
Once you're at 5 DUIs, the friends must feel like they're just pounding their heads into the wall in frustration.
Where does loyalty/concern cross the line into a need to drop someone?

Spot on.

The only enjoyable portion was the fake newsreel, which was hilarious. Kudos on the girl for the great delivery. Rest of it was baloney. He's giggling through the slaps and the outrage. Combine that with the five DUIs and you have a man who won't change. If you keep trying to lead him to water, you're the idiot.

Thought you went to prison and got your license revoked for a while if you got a few of them.

I was suspicious of the same thing. Having their license revoked doesn't stop a lot of people from driving, but after your third DUI, I can't imagine not ending up in prison for a while.

My dad has his third DUI in appeal right now. If the decision is upheld, he gets 6 months. He has the option of doing 3 in an inpatient rehab facility. If he were to drive with a suspended license, the first offense would be a massive fine and an extension (meaningless when the suspension is 10 years), the second time you get a 364 (keeps you out of prison).
