Local School Board Struck By Bart Simpson-Style Prank During Live Public Meeting — Six Times

(Via Mediaite)

A Virginia school board meeting became the stuff of viral legend when one member fell for a Bart Simpson-esque name prank not once, but six times in a row during a live video stream.

This week’s Henrico School Board meeting was well into its third hour when school board Chair Roscoe Cooper III wrapped up the public comment portion by calling on several local citizens who appear not to have been real.

“Phil McCracken,” Mr. Cooper intoned, repeating the name after a pause when Mr. McKracken did not respond, then proceeded to monotone the names Suk Mahdic, Ophelia McCaulk, Eileen Dover, Don Keydik, and Wayne Kerr. All appear to have been fabricated for humorous effect.
