We’re done. From myspace: Him: lost yr number, gimme a call. sorry i didn’t make that date, I have been ill. Me: Had appt Fri, baby’s heartbeat is strong and just the right speed, he is getting VERY big. Can see him moving under my skin now, it’s a little ‘Alien’-y, and he kicks too. No gestational diabetes but we ... [Link]
There have been so many misconceptions about the recent cover of The New Yorker that I felt compelled to address a few of them: It’s funny. I know there are people out there who think it isn’t, but they’re clearly wrong. It’s so patently ridiculous, it can’t help but bring a smile. The Obamas are not the subject of the ... [Link]
Oh Baby Daddy … He called again, and I didn’t realize it was him until had picked up. He was rather self-righteous about now having the time to ‘be involved.’ I told him he needs to write down specifically what that means to him and we would talk. But I am not giving an inch. He even got huffy b/c ... [Link]
Our mayor is taking part in this national push by municipalities to get people to ditch bottled water for tap water. It’s better for the environment, it’s cheaper, blah blah blah. Only problem is that our tap water is damn near undrinkable right now. It’s truly foul. It smells nearly as bad as it tastes. A shower leaves you feeling ... [Link]
A bunch of people get screwed. Big Bad Corporate Mortgage Company 2 closed up shop yesterday. Granted, it’s not as bad as the last mortgage company I worked for, but it’s still pretty fucked up. Plus, I’m losing a potential $5k a month in freelance fees. In fact, who knows if I’ll get paid for the two weeks of work ... [Link]

Came here from a link on cockeyed.com
This is absolutely brilliant. Had to be cool under pressure.
July 26th, 2006 at 5:54 pm
Excellent. You guys were great, and had the calm complexions of an expert prankster.
Also came from cockeyed.
July 26th, 2006 at 6:19 pm
Nice work, man. That’s pretty humurous.
July 26th, 2006 at 6:53 pm
Great quality too!
Did you know the TV was coming, or did it surprise you?
Good Job on your site.
July 26th, 2006 at 7:58 pm
Video too long and boring.
Jesus Christ, get a job.
July 26th, 2006 at 9:20 pm
WOW! the prank was so awesome. and u guys struck in broad daylight too! bravo!!
July 27th, 2006 at 7:45 am
Now THAT is classy.
Nice job, guys.
July 27th, 2006 at 8:32 am
We need to get an update! Are they still there? If not, when did they come down?
Oh, and very nice use of impermanent affixatives. I hope nobody gets the idea to go vandalise art after this. That’s not big, and it’s not clever.
July 27th, 2006 at 2:19 pm
Excellent.
What is the name of the first song that plays? Is it a TV show theme song?
July 27th, 2006 at 5:19 pm
Dave: We hoped the TV was coming, so we set up our Tivos to record all the local news. We got lucky.
tommy lee dover: Sorry you were bored.
RandomFerret: The glasses stayed up for about two days. We called the restaurant the next day and heard our story about C.R.A.C.K. parroted back to us. But the property manager took them down on Monday.
V: The song is the theme music from “Monsters, Inc.” from Pixar.
July 27th, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Cute - funny - good prank! But just one word: “Tripod”
July 27th, 2006 at 11:46 pm
Frank: Couldn\’t set one up where we filmed from. We\’re thinking about getting a monopod for stability instead. This was are first video project and we\’re still working out the kinks.

verrrry cool…i think the statue of liberty needs a groucho makeover!!!
July 28th, 2006 at 10:00 am
That was awesome. I would’ve peed my pants just from the fear of getting caught. LOL. And as usual, the news people get it wrong. I can’t believe she called them “sunglasses”. Does anyone see any tinted lenses in those things? Geez. And where’d the strap go? LOL.
Great job!
July 28th, 2006 at 11:34 am
You guys are absolute geniuses! Congrats on a brilliant job perfectly done!
July 28th, 2006 at 11:59 am

That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. I suppose I should get out more.
July 28th, 2006 at 4:34 pm
AbbydonKrafts:
We noticed the newswoman called them sunglasses. She also referenced the ever popular “Father’s Day Hoax,” whatever that is.
The strap came off the first night. I went and did a repair with a staplegun. It came off again and then disappeared the next day.

Great vid. I loved the fact that the weatherwoman didn’t know that they were Groucho Marx glasses.

Sacramento definitely needs more of a C.R.A.C.K. epidemic.

We’ll keep you updated as C.R.A.C.K. spreads throughout the city. We have more ideas on tap.
