Robert Popper's greatest prank yet: Tangerinegate
British comedian/writer/prankster Robert Popper recently managed to convince a radio host that embattled UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown once did something inappropriate with a tangerine. One after another, tabloid press and lazy legit papers picked up Popper's prank call as real. The result: Tangerinegate (more here). Biggest coup, IMO, was the Hong Kong animators bringing it to life.
