What was the best April Fool joke you've heard of?
Reading our local newspaper this morning, I found they'd again fallen for SEAT's 'driverless Touring Car' story and reprinted it's details and lap times for April 1st this year in their motoring section.
Good old SEAT, if you hadn't heard about it, invented a story about a remote controlled car that happened to beat Plato and Turner's lap times at Rockingham, so they planned to enter it at Brands in the BTCC on April 1st this year .... and our paper printed it at the time and then again this week.
:rotflmao:
Feeling shame for the poor editor, I called her this afternoon and mentioned she may, perhaps, have slightly fallen for a joke :p : She took it well and laughed when she read it back to herself, then said it was simply a matter of printing what SEAT sent because they were a trusted company and she never would have known it was a fabrication :laugh:
The fact that it's June might just help her hide her red face :D
