This. Pranks are not funny - it's just a peer pressure concept for getting people to pretend you're laughing with them, just to prevent them from feeling like you're laughing at them.

@jwcph
»pranks are not funny« is like »pouring red paint on people is wrong« in that it may be true most of the time but not when it's a anders fogh who has just ordered an invasion of iraq.

context and purpose matters, and i think a #prank like this does a lot of good:

@pelle Well, by my way of thinking that's not a prank - it's a protest happening & yes, that can be very powerful & relevant, though strongly dependent on context & execution.

To me, a prank is meant to be funny-ha-ha, like April Fools.
