The swiss airforce has all the gen that is in our civilian system, so they would see the chopper with the correlated callsign. The french do not have the same info unless GVA has made the info available!!?
What could possibly have happened is that the swiss airforce chap phoned his french counterpart, as this all happened on the other side of the border.
Not a very well thought out joke............

A certain Austrian ex controller, now a leading light at Jet Magic, was also supposed to have done this at Maastricht UAC. Total sense of humour failure, quite correctly, and a general shout for his blood.
His departure followed rapidly. Did he go or was he pushed??

I do derive a modicum of amusement from hanging "rad-tags" off a non-discrete code flying through TMA airspace displaying insulting messages. They can't see them because of the wierd partitioning of our varigated systems... Well, it passes the time til the next coffee run.
The concept of fighter planes being scrambled for a funny is a bit alarming, but indicates a different level of preparedness for such (real) occurences there to what we have here. No fighters within cooee of my center.
