I'm a huge fan of a group of comediens called 'Improv Everywhere'. They perform just the most amazing 'stunts' - loosely in the vein of trigger happy tv (if you've seen the uk show) or whatnot, but they don't get their kicks out of annoying folk, they get them out of lifting peoples' spirits.
anyway, enough of the ad-campaign, I'm just tickled at their newest stunt, they set up a fake U2 rooftop gig and played 4 songs to rabid new yorkers before being shut down.

their site is being hammered just now so when reading the story, the images may take ages to load - hence the movie i'm linking to is a mirror.
comedy gold.
