Not much to say about this one, other than the fact that it's totally believable and in fact we'd be shocked if it didn't one day happen

Britain's best-selling red top goes for the humourous ape angle this April Fools, with this story about gorillas being given iPads to entertain them which they hang out in the zoo. Some nice Photoshop action makes this a slightly obvious but funny winner.

http://www.metro.co.uk/news/859704-have-we-got-chews-for-you-the-edible-metro

Metro included a notice this morning about their new 'edible' edition. Unfortunately they declined to use our suggestion for a name -- Meatro -- and instead went for a sugar-paper design. Poor form. They also had this story about unicorn remains being found under the Tower of London, which was fairly funny.

PlayMobil announces new 'Apple Store' playset (ThinkGeek)

The geek's Accessorize has outdone themselves by announcing this very high quality and believable (sadly) play on Apple's marketing success.

ThinkGeek also announced Angry Birds-brand pork rinds, an edible iPhone case, a set of Arsenic-based sea monkeys and a plate that's also a T-shirt. Sadly we could imagine at least three of those products actually making it to market on a website like ThinkGeek.
