Court warns Italian TV prankster

paolini.jpg Prolific Italian TV prankster and condom advocate Gabriele Paolini faces a prison sentence unless he behaves. The BBC reports.

"Mr Paolini - who calls himself the prophylactic prophet - has made a career of popping up uninvited behind unwitting on-air TV reporters promoting condom use.

Guinness World Records says Mr Paolini is the world's most successful TV hijacker, interrupting 20,000 link-ups.

... The court has also ruled that anyone who deliberately gets onto TV while standing in a public place can commit an offence even if they are silent and immobile."
