ReplyDeletemy favorite hoax was the fat burning one on the first page
ReplyDeleteMy favorite one would have to be the taco bell one. My second favorite is flying penguines. My thrid one is would be drunk driving on the internet.
ReplyDeletethe thought of some one buying the liberty bell is not going to happen, but the idea of the taco bell buying the liberty bell becouse of the dept in america. The idea of some thing like that happening would be a new low for america.
ReplyDeleteI think it is funny that today we have commercials about the little hands and not being about to eat the Angus burger and back in 1998 they have a left-handed whopper. Bombs Away would be something I could see someone in our school doing.
ReplyDeleteI think that the lottery ticket would be funny because pretty much all my family play the lottery, but yet i couldn't see doing that even as a joke.
ReplyDeleteI decided to comment on the freelance ringer in Topeka, Kansas. I believe that he should be punished by the law because he is stealing peoples money. He is also infringing the salvation army by acting as a ringer for them plus there is no really way to know who he is without ID. I believe that this is probaby one of the worst crimes because he is not only stealing from the people giving the money but also the salvation army.
ReplyDeleteI think the thousands without power in scotland is the best and funniest prank on the list. that would be funny and people wouldnt expect that to be an april fools day joke.
ReplyDeletefavorite april fool's day hoax:
ReplyDelete-The Japanese man who entered a long-distance race and there was a translation error and he thought the race was for 26 days not 26 miles.
-The man who put old tries in a volcano and the people of the town thought that it was going to erupt cause of the black smoke that the tires made
I like the The Left-Handed Whopper one. It was creative.
ReplyDeleteI think the best one was the Sid Finch one where the guy could throw a fast ball 65 mph faster than the record. I think that would really get some of the people worked up. It was a good way to draw their attention too while learning something.
