My opinion is that crank calls are never a good thing, they are always pretty mean. You're saying that if Crank Yankers or some other show called a wrong number and said "FBI" and scared some guy out of his wits that would be okay and funny because it was a comedy show? Or a radio station did it?

My point is that what CNN did was bad in general, worse because they are CNN and a news show and should be reporting on idiots doing this stuff, but bad no matter who was doing it, and I find it hypocritical of a Comedy Central show to be calling them on it.
