Really Stupid Video Prank

Here is what NOT to do for an attempt at an amusing YouTube video. Just ask Nathan Channing. Associated Press says he's the guy that decided it would be hilarious to pull a banana on unsuspecting police officers in Grand Junction, Colo. He's facing a felony charge after deputies say he pointed a banana at them. But from a distance, the officers said they thought it was a gun and had their weapons drawn. That's when Mr. Channing screamed, "It's a banana!" He was doing a trial run for a planned YouTube video that he thought would "lighten up the holiday spirit."

Uh...ho ho ho?
