  1. LMAO…..This was a prank destined for the prank history books.

    My personal favorite still goes to the guys who hijacked the the McDonald’s drive-through radio frequency and yelled back at customers placing orders “you’re too fat to be eating Big Macs” and things of that nature.

  2. BAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 😀

    NTSB confirmed? They DID not and you didn’t do your homework.

    . . .

  3. Hard to argue with the mainstream media these days. I thought to my self when she started to read the names “oh no” Where is the adl on this one? oh yah thats only for jews when they are made fun of.
