I was in Chicago listening to Steve Dahl and Garry Meier on WLS radio. Near the end of the Iranian Hostage crises in January 1981 the two jocks were musing on how much the hostages must miss American food, they decided to prank call Iran and try to send the hostages some buckets of Islamic Fried Chicken.
While a million Chicago-land listeners found it a hoot, the station later got a warning letter from the State Department.
It was comic gold!
In 1978 while in College, we made state regional news (yep, I participated) by throwing a Birthday party for the Shah, Man were the Iranian students pissed. One of my cohorts confronted the Iranians, and told them, if they didn't shut up, we'd extend the party 2 weeks and call it Shahdigras
