I listened to NPR'S This American Life last week and i laughed my ass off!

The title of the show was Mind Games, which consisted of 3 different stories. Well, the one i caught was about a group that call themselves Improv Everywhere. These guys plan different missions to pull off in public, basically a group of people who go around mind fucking people. The show went into detail about various stunts they've pulled off, but one of their gags had me on the floor laughing! They came up with the idea to find an amatuer band that would be playing their city soon and learn the lyrics to all of their songs, go to their show and treat them like they were The Beatles! Their victims was this band that call themselves Ghost of Pasha, this was also like their 3rd show ever. This band didn't even have a cd out, IE had to download their songs from the bands website. So, IE shows up with like 30 people and when the band started playing crowd went nuts! Singing the chorus to the songs, jumping on stage, requesting songs. The band had no idea what the hell was going on, that is until someone emailed then a link to IE's website.

Talk about buzzkill!

There's no way i can do this justice, you have to listen for yourself. it's an hour program and this story is Act II. You have to listen to this shit.
