À propos de Palin...

Je ne sais pas si vous vous souvenez, mais Les Justiciers Masqués sont devenus vraiment populaires instantanément chez nos voisins du sud après qu'ils eurent piégé Sarah Palin au téléphone, chose qu'ils ont faite plusieurs fois dans le passé (Janet Jackson, Jacques Chirac, Britney Spears, ...).

Je suis en train de lire l'article consacré à cette histoire sur Wikipédia, The Masked Avengers' prank on Sarah Palin, et le paragraphe suivant est tellement cool. C'est tellement tough à croire que ça ait si bien marché et si facilement.

Marc-Antoine Audette said that it took the duo about four or five days of calls to Palin's staff to finally be able to talk to her. They claimed that they started by talking to low-level people in Alaska and made their way up through Palin's campaign staff. Audette said that at first they didn't think their prank would work, calling it a "mission impossible". He claimed that "after about a dozen calls", the duo "started to realize it [the prank call] might work, because her [Sarah Palin's] staff didn't know the name of the French President. They asked us to spell it." Audette and Trudel credited their ability to make their way up through Palin's staff to sounding convincing during the first few calls, always arranging to place the call at a set time, and not leaving a contact number. The four days of calls needed to talk to Palin was quicker compared to some of their other pranks. Audette and Trudel said that it took them two months to talk to Paul McCartney and one to talk to Bill Gates, but only two days to prank Britney Spears.
