“Explicit audio from a pornographic film was blasted out for all to hear. And it kept playing. And playing. For 15 minutes. As pranks go, it’s fairly low-grade. But Target has a problem. Staff at the store in Campbell, a small city just south of San Jose, were all but powerless to stop it due to how the PA system is designed. And it’s not an isolated incident. According to local media, it’s at least the fourth time this prank has happened since April. In one instance, a store had to be evacuated. An email obtained by the BBC, sent by company bosses to Target store managers across the US on Friday afternoon, outlines a weakness in the store’s PA system being used to carry out the prank.”
