Don't know if this has been posted already, but some Canadian comedian apparently prank called Sarah Palin pretending to be France's Sarkozy.

It was aired on the radio.

What does NSG think on the matter?

My country is awesome.

My country is awesome.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Here's the phone call

My country is awesome.

Hell Yeah!!

If she ever becomes president we are all going to die.
Everybody. Not just in the US. She'll kill us all.

It was a pair of comedians from Montreal known as the Masked Avengers. They've even prank called Sarkozy himself.

If she ever becomes president we are all going to die.
Everybody. Not just in the US. She'll kill us all.

She's already cursed two hockey teams by dropping the opening faceoff. That's like terrorism up here. There'd be an embargo on Tim Horton's and snow.

If she ever becomes president we are all going to die.
Everybody. Not just in the US. She'll kill us all."We're all going to die, anyway! Why delay?"
...Can anybody else imagine that as a campaign slogan for Palin in 2012? :p

Awesomeness

"We're all going to die, anyway! Why delay?"
...Can anybody else imagine that as a campaign slogan for Palin in 2012? :p

I can see it now. The smear campaign would read "(insert Democrat candidate) wants to deny you your god-given right to die now instead of later at some UNKNOWN time."

"We're all going to die, anyway! Why delay?"
...Can anybody else imagine that as a campaign slogan for Palin in 2012? :p

The scary part is, a lot of the evangelicals actually believe pretty much that, thanks to Revelations.

Its a lot less funny when you realize its how these people actually think. And that a hypothetical President Palin would control America's nuclear arsenal.

Should have been all "I have heard that you are scared that America is going to become the new France. France is a beautiful, prosperous nation and this is a bit insulting to my country."

CHOICE:
Insult powerful leader
OR
backtrack and claim that France is greats.

I tried to listen to it, but the extreme exagerated French accent bugged me to death and I couldn't listen to it anymore. Although I am sure it was funny.

If there is really a liberal bias in the media, why haven't I seen this clip played on all the news shows?

Anyone ever heard of Hamish & Andy? Aussie equivalent of the Masked Avengers.

Nah I would say more like the chasers.

These guys are awesome

Past victims of their pranks have included Gilles Duceppe, rock stars Bono and Mick Jagger, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Formula One driver Jacques Villeneuve, U.S. business tycoon Donald Trump, and very recently Sarah Palin. The duo have also been incorrectly credited with a prank call to Queen Elizabeth II in 1995, which was in fact placed by another CKOI-FM host, Pierre Brassard.

And apparently they've also pranked Britney Spears, Nicolas Sarkozy and Jacques Chirac

Brutal.


I love it.

Fucking...painful.

"Hustler's Nailin' Palin."

"Oh...have we been pranked?"

Yay for Montreal!

People really shouldn't tease the mentally challenged. It's cruel.

Watched the Video...couldn't stop laughing...had to get air...why did no one warn me that it would be this funny!!!! I'm a bit of a Cosmopolitan traveler, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cosmopolitan see Definition #3 on that link, "So sophisticated as to be at home in all parts of the world or conversant with many spheres of interest: a cosmopolitan traveler" so it was especially funny for me, the fake French Accent, the Joe the Plumber mis-translation, the Carla Bruni is so jealous of you, I mean the sheer amount of hilarity.... Anyways, I love the Chasers too, especially after this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAPLpHyBrlg but I think this just tops it all. Go Masked Avengers!!!

Actually, as a Canadian, I'd love to see McCain - Palin take office. Before you all freakout, well I guess those of you who live in America, go ahead and freakout... same for the people who've got American missiles pointed at you, start freakin' out. But Canada! Canadians, think about it! We've had great TV for the last 8 years! This is just further proof we could have at least another 4 more years of comedy gold on our hands!

I posted it in the megathread. Still funny as hell.

Oh, and Hamish and Andy don't come close. Chaser, maybe.

Would you like to get invaded? I'm sure Canada has some oil in the Artic that Palin would like to liberate :D Also, as you are watching the TV, do you prefer to be shot in the back or in the neck?

Its a lot less funny when you realize its how these people actually thinkThat's not entirely true. Yes, they do believe the endtimes are near, and will likely occur in their lifetime. All the same, they're also cowards - they'll not actually work to bring those end-times closer, and always do what they perceive to be ideal for pushing the date off for a bit - because although they wish for them to occur, they'd rather not be active participants in the same. Much better to be dead and sleep it out.

You obviously didn't listen to the interview. She happens to be getting along famously with the Canadian Prime Minster Stef Carse as well as Richard Sirois the Prime Minister of Quebec.

You know, you should use a smilie when being sarcastic...
You are being sarcastic, aren't you?

That moose hunting bitch!

If I claim the Stef Carse or any other singer happens to be the Prime Minister of Canada it should be obvious the sarcasm is present somewhere in my post.... actually I was dead serious.
