HOLY SHNIKES! THAT'S LARS LARSON ON FOX 25!

Whenever an Oregon story hits New England newscasts it makes me say something like "Holy Shnikes" (sch'ni-kees)... but this story is something else.

Prank cell phone calls intended for local radio host Lars Larson are actually going to someone else.
The phone number no longer belongs to him. It's now assigned to a new customer, an 11 year old girl, and her family is upset about some of the calls she's been getting.

The talk show host traces those kinds of calls to the night last year that left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore gave Larson's home phone number to a live audience in Portland.

I enjoy Michael Moore's movies just as much as the next anti-establishment wannabe, but this is getting ridiculous.

Then again, Michael Moore isn't the king of prank-the-media; Howard Stern is. Wonder what HE'd say about this Moore crap.

For that matter, Fox 12 Oregon's article mentioned nothing about a reaction from Michael Moore's people. I'd expect Moore to thumbs-up pranking Larson apparently, but maybe jeer the needling of an innocent young lady.
