I link not because the Sarah Palin prank amuses me but because it's hard to believe, but true.

I read about this in the Telegraph. (http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/toby_harnden/blog/2008/11/02/sarah_palin_gets_pranked_by_canadian_radio_station) Even more surprising is the paragraph where Tony Harden writes:

It's incredible that two comedians could get through to a vice-presidential candidate, though Sarkozy himself is a previous victim. Way back in 1995 I remember writing about the Queen getting tricked in the same way by a Canadian prankster.

I love this. That HAD to take persistence, although once they got her on the line it sounds like they could've chatted for hours! XD

If (I HOPE NOT) they win, the one consolation will be four years of comedy gold.

Oh hah! It's always reassuring to know my country is filled with such geniuses :D *wills her to go back to her cold state and to stay there, QUIETLY*

it is hard to believe. I love the last part where they say 'this is why we don't let Obama answer the phone.'

What frightens me is that stunts like this one, and the Tina Fey parodies, might be making Palin more popular with the voters. She becomes a celebrity, and I've noticed that a lot of my country(wo)men care more about celebrities AS celebrities than they do about reality.

Thanks for the link. I hadn't read the story. Oi.

oh

dear

tarim.

What a total sap she is. But, hey, her spokesperson knows some French!

I commend them on a prank well done. No kidding: I am vastly impressed. I've done some stuff in my day, and appreciate a good stunt, and this was one. Yow. But, still...

...oh dear god.
