Does anyone else find this hilarious?

I find it hard to believe that it is this easy to get a well-known communist dictator on the phone. It sounds more like the SNL skit where Clinton calls Saddam. Maybe someone should try calling Bin-Laden...

They should get Kim Jong Il from North Korea on the line. He ought to be a barrel of laughs.

It is nice that they raised 400,000 pennies to pay the fine. That should really piss off the person who has to count it.

It is legal tender, but there is no law requiring that all types of legal tender be accepted for payment of a debt. Here''s the Treasury Department FAQ about it.

Exactly.
As I recall from another site I saw about this.... There''s some law about ""being annoying"" to fedreal workers... aka they consider it a waste of their time.... but I don''t agree with it
and no offence but they should just pay the fine and shut up. They knew this was something that you don''t do. Not even to mention messing with US forgein relations... although I doubt its possible to make it worse... much less with a crank call

Yeah, I''m torn on this one. On the one hand it''s extremely funny, and seeing Castro so duped warms the cockles of several internal organs. At the same time I can see the slippery slope the FCC is protecting, and there would be a question of setting precedence.

I just find it funny that the government has been trying to kill Castro for years...nay, decades! Then a government agency freaks out and fines a private group for calling him up. Ah, the double standards that are American life...

The funniest part is that even though there were ""naughty"" words said on the air, the only thing they got fined for was not securing Castro''s permission to go on the air. So, in trying to avoid a double-standard, the FCC exposed yet another double-standard; that is, ""naughties"" in other languages aren''t punished like their english counterparts. But, we certainly wouldn''t want to hurt Castro''s feelings; that''s just rude.
