Though he has impressed many with talents such as drum soloing, acting, filmaking, writing, and speaking, he is most famous, or should I say infamous for his pranks. Following the Watergate scandal, Abel hired an actor to pose as Deep Throat before 150 reporters. The actor was offered $100,000 to sell the rights to his story, began quarreling with his purported wife, then fainted and was whisked away in a waiting ambulance. Among his most famous is his S.I.N.A hoax, a fake organization created to convince people that there was an organization whose sole purpose was to clothe animals in the name of modesty. In truth, it was a satirical allegory making a statement on the issue of censorship. As with most of his work, his pranks carry a deeper meaning that, much like their comedic value, can only truly be appreciated from an arms length.
