Morning News Anchor Pulls ‘Anchorman’-Style Prompter Prank
One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that's on the teleprompter.

‘Textastrophe’ Pranks People Who Publicly Display Their Phone Number
Have you ever seen somebody share their phone number publicly (on Craigslist maybe, or one of those homemade ads for "computer lessons" on the subway) and thought to yourself "I should totally prank this guy"?

Disney Meets ‘Gatsby’ in ‘The Great Catsby’ Trailer
Why watch 'The Great Gatsby' when you could watch 'The Great Catsby'??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer's audio and clips from 'The Aristocats' to make 'The Great Catsby.'
