TV hijacking/pranks happen all the time apparently?

Max Headroom Incident

The Max Headroom broadcast signal intrusion incident was a television signal hijacking in Chicago, Illinois, on the evening of November 22, 1987; it is an example of what is known in the television business as broadcast signal intrusion. The intruder was successful in interrupting two television stations within three hours. Neither the hijacker nor his accomplices have ever been found or identified.
Later that night, around 11:15 p.m., during a broadcast of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock", PBS station WTTW's signal was hijacked using the same video that was broadcast during the WGN-TV hijack, this time with distorted audio.[1] The person in the Max Headroom mask appeared, as before, this time saying, "That does it. He's a freakin' nerd," before laughing and jeering, "Yeah, I think I'm better than Chuck Swirsky. Freakin' liberal."[2]

The unidentified man continued to utter random phrases, including New Coke's advertising slogan "Catch the Wave" while holding a Pepsi can (Max Headroom was a Coca-Cola spokesperson at the time), saying "Your love is fading", humming the theme song to Clutch Cargo, and stating that he had "made a giant masterpiece for all the greatest world newspaper nerds" (the call letters WGN are an abbreviation for "World's Greatest Newspaper", in reference to the Tribune Company's Chicago Tribune). He then held up a glove, said "my brother is wearing the other one", and put the glove on. He then took the glove off, adding that it was "dirty."

The picture suddenly cut over to a shot of the man's lower torso. His buttocks were exposed, and he was holding the now-removed mask up to the camera while being spanked with a flyswatter by an unidentified accomplice wearing a dress, as the man exclaimed "They're coming to get me!". The accomplice then said, "Bend over, bitch!"[3]. The man then said, "Do it!" and moaned. The transmission then blacked out and cut off, and the hijack was over after about 90 seconds.[2]

Shoot

"[Chris] Burden is the guy who, on November 19, 1971, in Santa Ana, California, produced a classic, or an atrocity (both, to my mind), of conceptual art by getting shot. “Shoot” survives in desultory black-and-white photographs with this description: “At 7:45 P.M. I was shot in the left arm by a friend. The bullet was a copper jacket .22 long rifle. My friend was standing about fifteen feet from me.” Why do such things? “I wanted to be taken seriously as an artist,”

much too young..

"Married to the kids when you should be having fun with me..."

I was lucky enough to be introduced to The Specials at a young age. A friends mum grew up in London in the 70/80's and managed to see just about every punk/ska/reggae group that was around back then and still had all her records. Before we got into going to parties we'd always cruise around my mates place, get drunk, throw on some records and crash out ready for an early surf the next day. good times.

Troy McClure

Troy McClure is a B-list 1970s film and TV star, whose career has been reduced to appearances on infomercials and self-help videos. His standard introduction is "Hi, I'm Troy McClure, you might remember me from such [films, TV shows, or educational films] as..." His performances come off as slick and insincere, both on- and off-screen. He is a recovering alcoholic with vision problems. In 1996, when he had to get a vision test at the DMV (which he failed miserably), he got his license renewal approved by asking the clerk, Selma Bouvier, on a date. He used Selma (and later married her) to further his career and squelch the rumors about his bizarre sexual fetish involving fish. The first part of the plan worked, as he was cast as the lead in the Capital City production of the musical "Stop the Planet of the Apes, I Want to Get Off," and was considered to play a sidekick in the then-upcoming McBane movie. The second part of the plan failed when Selma realized that the marriage was a sham and left him.
