The gift-wrap gag keeps blowing up, y'all. The mastermind, Adal Rifai, and the "butt" of the prank, Louie Saunders, were both on CNN last night.
The duo were called in and did the interview via earpiece and telephone with CNN's "wacky news" reporter, Jeanne Moos. Here's the video. (CNN doesn't allow embedding even though it frequently just posts videos from YouTube. Booooo on CNN!) I originally wrote about it HERE.
I love seeing friends on CNN for something fun and nice for a change, but to me, the best thing about the CNN appearance was the use of the term "friends who do improvisational comedy." Yay! CNN mentioned improv!

The Sun-Times did a great write up on Prankmas in it's paper edition, as well as online:

That is a RIOT. How come we didn't see your lovely face on CNN?
