these guys are more than pranksters, they're saboteurs.
this wasn't their best call (the best is the one they made to jacques chirac - it's letter-perfect and decimates him, but oh-so-gently), but it had some brilliant moments. i enjoyed it.
national daily article here, and the globe is the best/most respectable paper we have.
finally, for those who don't know quebecois french, this paragraph needs clarification:
FNS: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she’s so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.
SP: Oh my goodness! I didn’t know that.
FNS: Yes, in French, it’s called "Du rouge à lèvres sur une cochonne" [Translate: Lipstick for a sow literally (but not properly) but it actually means an uninhibited girl] or if you prefer in English Joe the Plumber, [sings] It’s his life, Joe the Plumber..."
a cochonne is not an 'uninhibited girl' - that's the politest euphemism possible. a cochonne is a slut, and the term is meant with considerable invective and disrespect.
despite my distaste for the overload of attention paid to that country's election, this call was great fun. thanks for posting.
