OMG happy birthday Ted! ...gods, I love Improv Everywhere.

Wow, Ted seems like a nice guy. I don't know that I could've played along so well.

Ted should totally get back together with Lauren.

These always implant a perma-smile on my face. I'm amazed the guy rolled with it as well as he did.

These improv group people bother the shit out of me. Drama class rejects and fucking jerkoffs, the entire lot.

And the result of this specific harmless, fun excursion into chaos? Long-term cognitive dissonance and paranoia on the part of "Ted". I'm not theorizing or making it up. There was a post somewhere I read once.. this prank gave the guy mental issues. Actually maybe it's not this guy exactly, but if it's not then add unoriginal to the list of things I hate about this pack of shitwits. Because it's either this guy or some other guy who was given a random birthday party by an improv troupe who ended up a little bit fucked up about the situation.

Oh and I remember where I heard the story... it was on This American Life podcast.
