General Board / Most epic Ben stunt
« on: April 25, 2010, 03:15:19 AM »
So I was thinking about all the jokes and stunts Ben has pulled over the years, and it's one of the things that makes him so interesting as a performer to me. I'm probably forgetting one or two, but I thought for a while and that's what I came up with.
The 2002 internet rumors are covered here: http://www.angelfire.com/music4/benarticles/misinfo/rumor.htm
And here's the Improv Everywhere stunt if you don't remember that: http://improveverywhere.com/2006/11/19/ben-folds-fake
I'm tempted to say Chatroulette just because it's the most recent, but the fake WtN leak is probably the most classic. It's still funny to think how many of us he fooled into believing some of those songs were legit, and even that the one legit one on there (Cologne) was "fake."
Bitches at Berry was great though, just because I know that school, being here in GA, and how conservative it is. Massive testicles.
And I remember how freaked out everyone was during the MySpace webcast, when the guy jumped from the balcony...I totally fell for that one.
Feel free to mention something I'm forgetting.
