sorry, typo. what i meant to say was, i'm sure you will not get sued. if you really feel so much compulsion to prank call said number, just set your phone to private number.

[Rohedin]

DON'T FORGET: upload to youtube, get loads of views, get loads of rewards, get loads of girlfriends. FLAWLESS PLAN!

[EyeLovePoozy]

Nah

You wont get sued. Lots of people make a living from making hilarious crank calls.

That is a given, so of course you must add Howard Stern. No, you won't get sued, and also set your number to private.

[Warpig127]

As long as you set your phone to private number, you should be fine.

Does Howard Stern really have a big penis?

[Serphyas]

I just did this about an hour ago for the first time. It was amazing. I'm currently looking for a program to record what's on my computer screen along with the audio (if y'all have a suggestion, lemme know), but the call went something like this:

The topic was about bin-Laden's limo driver getting his sentencing. I had my speakers next to the phone, my roommate watching, and this C-SPAN anchor had already gotten about 10 pranks before me so the guy was really twitchy with the call cut-off button.

Anchor: Spokane, Washington, go ahead.

Me: Hi; thank you for C-Span.

Anchor: *nods* Go ahead.

Me: The last caller made a good point; what, we're going to sentence everyone close to bin-Laden now? Really, his limo driver? I think that America, in its overzealousness to get some type of revenge for 9/11, made a big mistake in this case. There was an article in the Spokesman Review recently about this, written by [my roommate's name], and he put it quite eloquently when he said...

[beginning of Scatman John's "I'm A Scatman" over speakers]: SKA BA BE DAH BO BA DA BADIDDLEBIDDLEBLIDDIBBLE-

*cut off*

[SkyBloo]

call them with a public fone

[lilcheeselad]

Nope, you won't get sued. If your still worried, theirs lots of people on youtube with videos and they didn't get sued.

[Serphyas]

FOUND IT!

Link to the call-in segment, in the video library. To view it, click on the Flash icon on the right side of screen. Skip to around 23:00, I'm the caller from "Spokane, Washington."

That shit was nerve-wracking, but I started to crack up at the end.

huuuh i cant see anything. only a purchase a dvd thing on the right and a thumbnail on the left with details beside it.

[Earfetish]

what flash icon on the right of the screen

[Serphyas]

Okay C-SPAN's website in general is screwy right now; the flash icon disappeared right before I tried to record the video on-screen. Luckily I managed to snag it and pop that bitch on YouTube.

I look back and realize that...uhh, it wasn't too good. But I've set a high bar for myself, and this show (Washington Journal) is on every morning. Lotsa practice ahead.

[Noodleboy111]

you probably won't get sued but you might not be able to call them after the first time because you might be blocked. use something like skype to be safe.

Wait, I was under the impression that you could only use Skype to talk to other Skype users. Can it really be used to call anyone?

And actually, despite their knowledge of my shenanigans, they did not block my number. It may have something to do with the fact that I called the Independent line instead of the Republican one (lawl), but I think unless a person is using profanity on-air, you should be good.

One notable example was done by BuddyGz, the guy who is my "bar" so to speak;

Caller: Hi, am I on the air?

Anchor: Yep!

Caller: FUCK.

Anchor: ...Thanks.

[diamania]

Keep up the good work! xD

Im laughing my ass off.

Yeah man, that's one of the best videos on youtube.

It's funny that I got the same anchor. I knew beforehand that there's a lotta history behind that call-cutting finger of his.

Buddy tore the shit outta C-SPAN in his day, but he's more or less unofficially quit, which is what inspired me to start.

You won't get sued. I don't think there would be a legitimate reason for that. If you go on youtube people prank call C-span talking about how Howard Stern has a big penis and what not.

Cam Studio. It's open source. you can record your screen and the audio(the audio recording does not work all sound cards). Just google it.

[Serphyas]

Hey folks, back with 2 new calls! Wooo woooo!

BONR Graph (My friend made this call)
Hlaka-hlaka-hlaka (My contribution)

Gettin' better.

[gibleto]

Some of these are funny, but it's not funny if you just randomly throw in a moaning sound. The BONR one was pretty amusing, but randomness is just lame.
