voice personals prank call

Umm, to everyone forwarding me the MP3 of the prank call to the Village Voice about placing a personal ad, thanks, but I got it. Since I work at the Village Voice, everyone and his brother thinks I ought to get a copy. You've probably seen it under the name "budonkadonk.mp3". Yes, it was an actual prank call. It was placed by Tracy Morgan. (Whom I actually coincidentally met last week. Strange.) With kind permission of the sweet woman who answered the phone, the Voice legal team cleared it for air on the Comedy Central show Crank Yankers. No word yet on how the bit leaked out, but I'm guessing it must've been through the company that was doing the lip-sync puppetry for the show.

I got it from the Turbanhead crew. Heh.
