To promote Tourgasm, Dane Cook launches a prank site where you can send customized dean letters and expulsion notices to friends. The prank letters are somewhat convincing but anybody who’s been on the net long enough knows to check the e-mail address first. And it looks pretty spammy. Additionally, inches from the letter text you’re told that Dane Cook has pranked you. That really destroys any possibility of shock and dismay.
One reader mentioned being pranked into thinking he got his ex preggers. We figure that, like people who still fall for voice mails that start with, “Hello … hello…?” There remains a market out there for those who fall for prank e-mails. Plus it’s Dane Cook and nothing he does could possibly be unfunny.
