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.
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.

Skateboard-style Zimmer frame launched for the elderly
ReplyDeleteThe Daily Express unveiled a new way for the elderly to get around – a skateboard-style Zimmer frame with wheels. The 'Micro Zimmer' was launched in response to huge demand 'from grandmas and granddads who wanted to take their grandchildren to school, but found they were struggling to keep pace.' Those who wanted to snap up the £100 scooters were urged to turn to another page... where they were told they'd been April Fooled.

And cows producing strawberry flavour milk are not in fact wandering Midsummer Common - thank the organisers of Cambridge's Strawberry Fair who provided that hoax press release.
