This is absolutely brilliant. Had to be cool under pressure.

Excellent. You guys were great, and had the calm complexions of an expert prankster.

Also came from cockeyed.

Nice work, man. That’s pretty humurous.

Great quality too!

Did you know the TV was coming, or did it surprise you?

Good Job on your site.

We need to get an update! Are they still there? If not, when did they come down?

Oh, and very nice use of impermanent affixatives. I hope nobody gets the idea to go vandalise art after this. That’s not big, and it’s not clever.

Excellent.

What is the name of the first song that plays? Is it a TV show theme song?
http://www.badmouth.net/ John Marcotte

Dave: We hoped the TV was coming, so we set up our Tivos to record all the local news. We got lucky.

tommy lee dover: Sorry you were bored.

RandomFerret: The glasses stayed up for about two days. We called the restaurant the next day and heard our story about C.R.A.C.K. parroted back to us. But the property manager took them down on Monday.

V: The song is the theme music from “Monsters, Inc.” from Pixar.

Cute – funny – good prank! But just one word: “Tripod”

Frank: Couldn\’t set one up where we filmed from. We\’re thinking about getting a monopod for stability instead. This was are first video project and we\’re still working out the kinks.

That was awesome. I would’ve peed my pants just from the fear of getting caught. LOL. And as usual, the news people get it wrong. I can’t believe she called them “sunglasses”. Does anyone see any tinted lenses in those things? Geez. And where’d the strap go? LOL.

Great job!
JJ

You guys are absolute geniuses! Congrats on a brilliant job perfectly done!

That’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. I suppose I should get out more.

AbbydonKrafts:

We noticed the newswoman called them sunglasses. She also referenced the ever popular “Father’s Day Hoax,” whatever that is.

The strap came off the first night. I went and did a repair with a staplegun. It came off again and then disappeared the next day.

Great vid. I loved the fact that the weatherwoman didn’t know that they were Groucho Marx glasses.

Beautiful! I actually saw it that Sunday and e-mailed Rob at Cockeyed.com to ask if it was his handiwork.
Yeah, that newsladyâ€™s a gobshite. â€œSunglassesâ€ indeed!

Absolutely frigginâ€™ brilliant.

Sacramento definitely needs more of a C.R.A.C.K. epidemic.
http://www.badmouth.net/ John Marcotte

We’ll keep you updated as C.R.A.C.K. spreads throughout the city. We have more ideas on tap.
