CNN’s Earthquake Report Gets Nailed With Prank Phone-Call [Video]

Why people think it's okay to make jokes about very serious life threatening situations will probably never get an answer. This prank call to CNN, however, is still funny.

San Francisco was rocked by a 6.1 magnitude earthquake in the early hours of Sunday morning. It did not take long for someone to take the piss and call into CNN during a love report and play a prank on the anchor.

Pretending to be a policeman, the man goes on to joke:

“What we believe is that this was a rumbling from Howard Stern’s butt crack.”

The news anchor manages to hold in a laugh and then has a few words about the severity of the situation, and how this is not the best time to be making jokes.
