Here is a neat little article I came across about a guy who is a professional prankster:
http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/67882/nobodys-fool
Of most interesting note, was his story of sending letters to celebrities pretending to be a dying 11 year old girl.
Take what he calls his “Celebrity Sincerity Test,” in which he wrote a letter to eleven celebrities, posing as a terminally ill 11-year-old girl.
Some celebs, like Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey, didn’t respond at all. Others like Bono and Jerry Lewis were quite generous, sending signed photographs and T-shirts. But jailed serial killer Charles Manson sent a package containing three hand-carved wooden keepsake boxes. One had an engraved pink heart on top, another, the word “Love” with the message “From: Manson” carved inside the lid.
“The most sincere celebrity,” says Hargrave, ”was the man with blood on his hands.”
I suppose that Southpark Charlie Manson Christmas special was true! :laugh2:

Charles Manson never killed anyone.
But Charlie Manson did.
Just a quick note about the "prank." If Charlie finds out the guy was fibbing then he might get mad.

Plus Oprah probably has to sift through millions of letters from mouth-breathing dullards asking for instructions on what book they should read or what movie they should see next.
