I heard about this on the Russ Martin radio show the other day...

It seems pranksters have found a new way to make prank calls, by impersonating famous celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Here's a couple of samples.
Arnold clip
Miss Cleo clip

At first I thought this must've taken a lot of work to set up a bunch of cart machines, like would be found at a radio station, then I noticed a download for a Flash program, which is apparently how they are doing it. Click here to see for yourself. Although the calls are still harassment, it's amazing the thought and effort that is being put into these pranks by kids today. More amazing is how many people out there do not recognize these famous actor's voices as well as the obvious "clips" that are frequently accompanied by noise and background music/sounds. These people just keep chatting away!

So if one day your phone rings and Arnold is on the other end of the line asking "who is your daddy, and what does he do", you're being prank called.

There are a whole slew of "Arnold calls someone" mp3s. In one, he calls Hooters and asks the girl, "Do you like discipline?" She responds with, "This is Hooters, you can't say that."
