In einem ausführlichen Artikel widmet sich der Economist dem Phänomen des Prankings. Langsam tastet sich der Artikel anhand der Frage, was einen Prank großartig mache vor, bis der Autor dann mit RTmark und den YesMen die Gefilden der Kommunikationsguerilla erreicht hat. Nun können sich Ökonomen à l Economist nichts anderes ausser Wettbewerbe vorstellen. Nun denn, wenn's der Nachahmung dient:
Perhaps it was ever thus: many having a go, few producing anything genuinely funny and admirable. After all, nobody likes to think they have no jocular streak. Even Adolf Hitler claimed to have been a prankster in his youth. If so, he lost it spectacularly.
With that warning in mind, we invite readers to nominate their contender for the finest prank in history, explaining in 750 words why it deserves the title, to reach us by January 20th. The three best entries will be announced in February and published on Economist.com. Entries, please, to pranks@economist.com.
Vielleicht erfinden einige auch einfach ein paar Pranks und spielen damit dem Economist einen Streich ... nicht vergessen, nur 750 Wörter und bis zum 20. Januar.
