Shades of Jean Poutine (Mercer pranks Bush), Quebec pair prank Palin with faux-Sarkozy phone call (CTV News)

Two notorious Quebec comedians have pranked Sarah Palin, tricking the Republican vice-presidential nominee into thinking she was speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy during a Saturday afternoon phone call.

"Oh my God, seriously, it's probably the biggest we've ever done," Marc-Antoine Audette, a member of comedy duo The Masked Avengers, told CTV.ca Saturday afternoon.

And for those outside of the Montreal listening area, thanks to the magic of the internet, la prank est ici. (audio) Hopefully Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin will be unsuccessful in their bid for the White House, otherwise an apology might be expected.
