[QUOTE="Kahuna Burger, post: 1457412, member: 8439"] It was. Makes your argument even sillier. It also wasn't on april fools day and was not meant in any way as a prank. Know before you post. "april fools day" is just Liars Day as far as I'm concerned. A bunch of immature people get an excuse to lie to other people. I'm supposed to disbelieve anything anyone tells me one day of the year or I'm a 'fool'? I don't think so. And frankly, any source of information which activly participates in Liars Day without some marking or revealing the 'joke' in the message loses my respect as a news source the other 364 days of the year too. Several years ago here in boston, a couple of DJs thought Liars Day gave them the right to make a fake news announcement about the Mayor's death. Those two particular brats lost their jobs. No one thought that the mayor's mother or close friends, overhearing a completely serious sounding special report done exactly as they would have for a high profile individuals death, should have "Looked at the date" and assumed that a radio station would let some :):):):):):):)s lie about something that serious. But thats where Liars day gets us. I go to the onion for fake news thats funny. I'd go to talk radio if I wanted fake news that wasn't funny. Maybe I'm a curmudgen before my time, but so be it. April fools day hasn't been funny since elementrary school, and I judge Lairs the same this day as any other. Kahuna Burger [/QUOTE]
