April Fools!!!

mycoupons | 01 April, 2008 10:05

Hello hello!  In honor of April Fool's Day, I thought I'd share with you some of the all time best pranks over the years according to the San Diego-based Museum of Hoaxes and www.breitbart.com. 

In 1996, Taco Bell announced that it bought the Liberty Bell and was going to rename it Taco Liberty bell.  As the public became livid, Mike McCurry the White House press secretary announced that the Lincoln Memorial was also purchase and was to be renamed the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial. haha

In 1957 a BBC television show pulled a prank on it's viewers by showing them footage of Swiss farmers harvesting spaghetti from trees.  The footage showed the farmers pulling strands of spaghetti from the trees which caused such a stir that the station was bombarded with calls about how they can also harvest their own spaghetti!  duurrrr

In 1962, a Swedish TV station which broadcasted in black and white told it's viewers that they came up with a new technology in which they could view the picture in color if they put a stocking over the screen, but they had to wait until 1970 to try it. I mean, are you THAT GULLIBLE?! haha
