News organisations all over the world have been discussing the importance of NSA whisteblower Edward Snowden joining Twitter.
So when HLN – a spin-off of CNN – wanted to weigh in on the subject, they decided to get someone who really knew what he was talking about.
They decided to try booking Al Jazeera journalist John Hendren who has spoken out in favour of Snowden’s actions in the past on his Twitter account @johnhendren.
But what they got instead was Twitter comedian Jon Hendren, who tweets from the rather less professional handle of @fart and apparently is a big advocate for Edward Scissorhands…
After finishing up his live news debut, Hendren stood by his convictions.

Meanwhile, the Al Jazeera journalist John Hendren appeared to see the funny side of it all.
Thanks for inspiring a spate of new followers to my namesake Jon (no "h") Hendren @fart, who fooled HLN. Very droll.
