> April fools rocks
The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) threw a great April fool once. It was long before my time, when everything still was sent in black and white, two or three years before the first colour broadcast (probably in the late sixties). It was late in the evening and the channel hostess was to announce a program, when she told everyone this: "Turn of all lights in your home, and this broadcast will appear in colour.". And, around in the thousand homes, people actually believed her and switched off all their lights. A true classic Norwegian April fool is when the Wine Monopoly (state owned/controlled liquor stores) tells the news papers that they have a leakage, and that people must come and help them get rid of all the alcohol. People falls for it and shows up in crowds with buckets and milk pails...
