Since 1998, I infrequently visit a site called Zug<\/a> to torment it’s message board of “funny” people. The owner, a John (Jeff) Hargrave, caught my attention with one of the first online video I ever saw, of him and Uncle Al<\/a> tossing pumpkins full of mayo with bombastic results<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve watched John do some pretty wild things for attention. He had a mildly popular show before the Bubble bust called “Computer Stew” where he trolled the offices of ZDnet and harrassed their staff. Most memorable was “The Wheel of Ipecac<\/a>” where contestants had to answer questions correctly or get a swig of the medical grade vomit inducer. John lost.<\/p>\n

You get the idea of his comedy style.<\/p>\n

His most recent prank had him getting a credit card using the additional cardmember’s name option, under the name Michael Jackson. Visa supplied him with one without question.
