"Spy" magazine once pulled a prank — back in the early nineties, I think — where it created a fictitious magazine, "Republican Teen Beat," then persuaded GOP leaders to participate.

Reed played along and responded, "I think it would be pretty close," while Falwell pronounced, "Jesus would win!" To the follow-up question of "Would it be a blowout?" Reed was again measured, saying he didn't believe so, while Falwell assured, 'It would be a blowout!"
