Fidel & Son Antonio Both Duped In Phone Pranks (VIDEO)

Fidel Castro's son Antonio recently had his heart broken. It was revealed that his eight-month long online romance with "Claudia", a 27-year-old brunette from Colombia, was in fact Luis Dominguez, a Cuban-born Miamian, who posed as the fictional woman to "shatter the myth of [Cuba's] impenetrable'' security system.

Antonio is not the only gullible Castro to be duped. Fidel himself fell for a prank in 2003 when two Miami disc jockeys (notoriously known for their phone pranks) dialed Fidel and posed as Venezuelan President and Fidel ally Hugo Chavez. Watch for yourself! (For non-spanish speakers, click here for a transcript).

One chap was reportedly trick over the Internet.

The other chap was or was not tricked on the telephone.

I believe - though I will defer to Former Senator Stevens-- thatt the "Internet" is different than the "Telephone".

But one thing we can say from this article - it shows again why our MSM has the worldwide reputation for journalism that it does.

USA #1 I believe is the appropriate chant at this point.

Here are the correct links:

Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LkKY1IywmA

And a better transcription (still incomplete, it only gives you the juiciest part):

I find it hard to understand when I read it. To begin with the whole thing was made with the intention to confuse the victims. So if you, the listener, are not paying attention, you might get lost yourself too.
I wish somebody could put subtitles to the youtube video. The segment with Castro is priceless!

that youtube video is a phone prank to a building administrator they're calling "egg head". it's a very old video and has nothing to do with fidel. hehe...

and the transcrip is about a joke done to Hugo Chavez using snippets of a conversation between Fidel Castro and Vicente Fox.

the video is pretty funny, though... if y'all understood spanish, you would be LMAO'ing.

You forgot to mention that "huevo" is also a slang term for dick, which is why the guy flips out when he's called that. :-D

[aridecuba]

Oh, we Cubans enjoyed this for months to no end!
I'm not a particular fan of that program, but that one prank was AWESOME!

[captain kangaroo]

This counts as news?

[FloresdelaHoz]

As much as FOX News' propaganda.

Castro brothers ar,e murderers who have destroyed Cuba. But for Castro, Cuba would have been the 51st state and among the wealthiest 10 states in the US.

According to the transcript, Chavez was the one pranked, not Castro. And the Youtube video is obviously neither of them (I don't even speak Spanish and can tell).

Try Harder, America. What's next about Fidel? That he is a vampire???

[aridecuba]

Actually he is. He is still sucking the life out of all of us Cubans.

[Rog49Thomas]

Only those who exploited their fellow Cubans.

Fidel: Hello?
Caller: Hi, is there a Hugh Jazz there
Fidel: Who?
Caller: Hugh Jazz
Fidel: Hey, is there a Huge Jazz here...does anyone have a Hugh Jazz?

Well, to judge by the story and links included, the Huff Post was pranked, because the youtube video linked has nothing to do with tricking Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro or any member of their families.
