Palin Gets Prank Called by Fake French President Sarkozy


A comedy duo called 'The Masked Avengers' from a Montreal-based radio station pulled off an impressive feat when they managed to get Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin on the phone and convince her she was talking to French president Nicholas Sarkozy.

Palin doesn't seem to figure out that it's a prank call, despite obvious clues. The prank caller makes a joking reference that Sarkozy can see Belgium from his house, and requests that Palin take him hunting from a helicopter -- not what we would usually think of as Presidential chit chat. The fake Sarkozy even tells Palin his wife, former model and singer Carla Bruni, is "hot in bed."

The one disappointing thing about the whole bit is that it isn't actually funny. In fact, prank phone calls are only really funny if you're the one making the call, and you're 12. For other some funnier, or at least intriguing, pranks, check out the gallery below. [From: BoingBoing]
