Not since Bart Simpson duped Mo for the umteenth time have prank pages been this obvious, or this embarrassing. Members of an Australian satire program on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp) purchased two kiosk tickets (that did not require any proof of identity). When the two made-up passengers didn’t show, their names, “Al Kyder ” and Mr. “Terry Wrist,” were repeatedly paged over the PA. Some passengers in the terminal were alarmed, as they thought it might be a coded security message about an “unfolding incident.” As you might imagine, airport security was not amused.
You can see a video of Al Kyder being paged here.
Thanks, Jay!
