Why CB radio is no longer popular

[giza]

CB doesn't have the visual impact of the net. Take the following exchange:

CB Prankster on 19 "Breaker one-nine"
CB Victim on 19 "go ahead"
CB Prankster on 19 "Hey good buddy, check out channel 17!"
CD Victim on 19 "OK.. *click click*"
CD Victim on 17 "Hi"
CB Prankster Accomplice on 17 "Ha ha! I'm pulling my ass open!"
CD Victim on 17 "Oh dammit, fell for that again.."
