The pranksters didn't think she was gullible. Instead they assumed she knew something and had a standard, i. e. it is not appropriate to dictate a love letter to one's secretary. I didn't feel like I needed a shower after seeing the woman tricked (and I know that Funt made a series of videos using nudity.)MattAhttp://GrAceful4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-53535223678092366942010-07-10T17:24:38.536-07:002010-07-10T17:24:38.536-07:00This is great.

It wouldn't be out of place in one of his earlier films, and yet it feels very modern, like a Ricky Gervais scene.Tom Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957278460932227241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-83636300308499233562010-07-10T17:19:33.144-07:002010-07-10T17:19:33.144-07:00Brilliant, just brilliant.

But there's a lot to be said for prank shows where the kicker isn't always just catharsis in the realization you are no longer being assaulted.<br /><br />I also used to enjoy just the concept of sending "personal" letters to friends, checking off one of a series of multiple choice predicates -- all but one of which being outrageous. Then I realized that was a hell of a lot of work to get a laugh from just one person. We all have our media, but believe me, personal correspondence is not one of the more lucrative.<br /><br /><b>BTW, OT.</b> Cliff Lee? I think our Rangers manager Ron Washington thought he was trading Justin Smoak’s kid brother Upin for <i>Bill “Spaceman”</i> Lee coming out of retirement, because when even management is prone to substance abuse, every pitch must look like some kind of eephus? I mean this Cliff fellow is good – but wouldn’t they want somebody who could keep a job? What’s your take Mr. L? Did your Mariners really need a hitter that bad? Sure takes some of the onus (wagner?) out of bankruptcy – no, I’m not sorry for this last one either.A.
