DGK was the best choice to put above Hockey to get the Hockey fans riled up because if they put Plan B on top it would be an obvious troll, but they played their cards just right, like when you call 9 Hearts in a game of 500 and you don't have the joker but you win the 9 anyway.
My first professional job was in a small office. It was close quarters with three other ppl (a Muslim, 2 gay dudes and an old divorcee), and we would always play pranks on each other. It was all love but nothing was sacred; we found out each other's passions, vulnerabilities and eccentricities and would explioit them on a regular basis for everyone's general amusement.
One of the gay guys was really critical of hip hop culture; I guess he'd had some bad experiences with "gangsters" driving by gay clubs and shouting homophobic slurs and throwing things at the patrons. Pretty fucked up, so I can somewhat understand where his strong feelings come from, even though I try not to make sweeping generalizations myself.
Anyways, it was the week leading up to the 2006 Oscars and he was championing "Brokeback Mountain" pretty heavily for Best Picture, always talking it up, saying how it'd be a historic day for the Academy, etc. With only a couple days to go, me and the Muslim dude concocted a plan where we would inform the gay dude, in a completely deadpan manner, upon his arrival one morning that "Brokeback Mountain" had been disqualified on a minor technicality and was no longer in the running for Best Picture.
"Which film replaced it?" he demanded to know.
Without looking from my computer, I told him matter of factly: "Hustle & Flow"
It took him about 15 minutes of googling to figure out we were lying but it was a glorious 15 minutes.
