UN chief gets prank call United Nations - UN Secretary
United Nations: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon received a prank phone call from a person posing as Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper during the UN General Assembly annual debate, his spokesman said.
Martini Nesirky, the UN spokesman, told reporters the Masked Avengers, a Quebec radio comedy team, reached Ban between sideline meetings Wednesday but said the secretary-general quickly realized it was a prank, adding the pranksters should improve their fake French accents.
The Masked Avengers, Montreal's Marc-Antoine Audette and Sebastien Trudel, fooled former US vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during her failed campaign, thinking she was talking with former French President Nicholas Sarkozy, reports said.
The Avengers' past victims also included New York real estate magnate Donald Trump, the Canadian media reported Thursday.
