Old thread but:
One morning, many years ago, I was sleeping while my mom was getting dressed for work and had the radio on. She came into my room and excitedly said, “They just announced that something crashed into the County Park and they’re closing the roads and the National Guard and the military are coming!” I asked, “did a plane crash?” She said “No, people saw a round object fall from the sky, into the park!” For a few seconds I tried to think of what it could be, then remembered and sarcastically asked,”Oh Mom? What’s todays date?” She started laughing.

SEVERAL YEARS AGO A LOCAL ATLANTA RADIO STATION 99X DID AN APRIL FOOLS DAY HOAX. SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE, THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIER MICS STAYING ON DURING SONGS AND EVENTUALLY ACTED LIKE THEY SAID A FAMOUS STAR FROM TITANIC (MR. DECAPRIO)…HOPE I SPELLED THAT RIGHT…WAS GOING TO BE ON THE SHOW AND GAVE OUT A PHONE # THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY HIS. PEOPLE CALLED THE # AND SAID THINGS LIKE HOW DUMB THE STATION IS, IS THERE A REWARD FOR NOTIFYING HIM THAT HIS # WAS GIVEN OUT, AND OTHER HUMOROUS THINGS. THE STATION PLAYED A LOT OF THESE AND THE PEOPLE WHO FELL FOR IT APPEARED TO BE IDIOTS..HA HA

Our weekly independent always has some fun when their issue happens to come out on April 1. One year the cover story was about the Portland city council deciding to arm the homeless with guns confiscated by criminals. Another year, they told their readers the paper had been laced with LSD. Hilarity ensued.
