I hate pranks

Elton John was pranked.  Someone called him claiming to be Vladimir Putin saying that they wanted to discuss gay rights with him.  Of course Elton would be excited about the prospect...who wouldn't be?  But it was all a prank by a couple of comedians who have now admitted to it.  I really don't find this funny and I don't see how they could do something so cruel.  This is just another form a bullying and it has to stop.  prank
