The later stuff (yes, as featured on This American Life) and this one are invasive, intrusive, and annoying. They're not entertaining everyone else as much as they are entertaining themselves. To do so, they (the organizers at least) take a view that their prank will obviously be fun for everyone. If you are a target and you don't have fun, then you didn't get the joke or you're just boring. If the kids enjoyed it, then great, I'm glad for them. But this doesn't make IE's pranks smart, funny, or entertaining if you're the target. I like Improv Everywhere's early stuff when it was small and just surreal.

There is a YouTube link about it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=839XtOtyLsw The whole event was featured in the first episode of the television version of This American Life with Ira Glass on Showtime. It's worth seeking out for a download if you like that sort of thing.
