Are You A April Fool?

[Bluesmanager]

Have you fallen for a prank yet?

I, I'm glad to say, have not. Someone tried selling me a Buffy: The Musical yarn, but they did that in season 6, so that was easily spotted.

There's some joker saying that Wet Spam are a great club, but that was just to obvious.

Radio One did a good one, told listeners it was "April Fuels Day" and told listeners that petrol was half price for Chris Moyles fans from certain stations, call this number for participating petrol stations- they had thousands of calls

We had a great one at The New Paper. Went with a big back page on Newcastle hiring a completely inexperienced Interin Interim Manager to save them from relegation. Hilarious!

What's that? Oh.

On youtube they've put all videos upside down. Well they have for me anyway. Anyone else got this?

 

[Bluesmanager]

I got that too.

Capital Radio did a good one many years ago. April 1st happened to fall on a Saturday that year, but Chris Tarrant did his usual midweek show as if it was Friday. It caught a load of people out who all got up, got dressed and started to go to work.

One guy rang in to complain because he was a cab driver and had an airport pick up organised for Saturday. He went back to bed because he thought it was Friday!

Chris Phillips had updated his FB status to say he was playing for the reserves today for a "story". Don't think anyone was convinced!

The Times had some rubbish ones, one amateurish football story in the leader column and a photo feature on tartan sheep that let the cat out of the bag in the caption. Poor show. I liked the Guardian's insistence that it was moving exclusively to Twitter, that was well done.

BMW have one which advises of a new system where you magnetically attach your car to the one in front, which will pull you along whilst saving your fuel.

That was clever, but too clever. I imagine most people spotted it immediately.

I heard today that a Scottish ogre ruled England and a Kenyan communist ruled the US. I did laugh.

I haven't fallen for any pranks today, I was ready for them today and immediately replied with my own one! :D
