Two
Canadian radio jockeys described as hilarious pranksters did the
unthinkable; they pulled the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki
Moon from a meeting with U.S president Barack Obama by making a
frivolous phone call.
The jocks Sebastien Trudel and Marc-Antoine Audette of CKOL-FM in Montreal followed their prank to UN secretary after a courtesy call to the Canadian Prime minister Stephen Harper.
At the UN they jumped through few obstacles before telling the Secretary General “Mr. Ban, I’m calling because the UN has to give support to the Quebec Nordiques … You have to speak to Gary Bettman,” the fake Harper said, according to the Toronto Sun.
Read the rest of the story below….
The Quebec Nordiques are a failed NHL franchise that moved south the Denver and became the Colorado Avalanche.
Bettman is commissioner of the NHL, which is embroiled in a labor dispute with players and recently cancelled its pre-season games.
The regular NHL schedule is now in jeopardy.
Moon eventually wised up to the prank.
“I don’t understand what you are saying,” Ban said, the Sun reported.
“My impression is that I’m being fooled.”
The duo followed their prank against Moon by calling Harper himself, pretending to be a Quebec politician asking for advice.
“He was a good sport,” Audette told The Canadian Press.
“He was very nice, but serious. … He said, ‘Ah, so it’s a joke.’ He greeted our audience and that was it.”
The prime minister’s spokesman congratulated the “Justiciers” on Twitter.
