Bob Edwards Weekend -- Pranks

The 2nd hour of Bob Edwards weekend for Aug 1 (activists and corporate prankst) was pretty interesting. The prankster guys did some truly funny stuff, and got good press about some good issues. Basically their modus operandi is to make a fake website that looks like a corporate one, and wait for an interview request from the press. And then they go off in the interview. The second story was about the NYC actors troupe (Improv Everywhere) who do public art. TAL did a show on them, I think it was the t.v. show version of TAL. They do things like coordinated dancing in the windows of multi-story buildings, getting a large group to go shirtless in A&F 1 & 2. There are a ton of videos on YouTube.
