WHY I PRANKED ASHTON KUTCHER: Ashton Kutcher runs a practical joke show on MTV called "Punk'd." They do wacky stunts like drop air conditioners on the cars of D-list celebrities. It's not just that the stunts aren't particularly clever. It's that Ashton once proclaimed on his show that he was somehow immune to being pranked himself, that he could not be outsmarted. Since I am the true king of pranks, as evidenced by my forthcoming book, PRANK THE MONKEY, I decided not only to prank Ashton Kutcher, but to do it without even leaving my house. In an epic ZUG prank that took six months, dozens of accomplices, and a fair amount of legal maneuvering, we pulled a prank on Ashton Kutcher that was recently covered by Access Hollywood, E! News, Entertainment Weekly, New York Daily News, and MSNBC. If you've heard the rumors that Ashton Kutcher didn't really marry Demi Moore, they started right here at ZUG. To get the full story on how I pulled it off, you'll need to read my new book, PRANK THE MONKEY. Dozens of hilarious pranks on those who really deserve it: e-mail spammers, irritating celebrities, the IRS, and many more. It's a big job, but it'll be a big book (nearly 8 inches long).
