What April fool's jokes have you fallen for?

Asked by jazzjeppe (2598points) April 1st, 2010

A couple of years ago one of the Swedish Internet newspapers had a great service! By looking into your computer screen, focusing on a red dot, you could get a picture of yourself. Yes, I did it. Yes, the shot of me was a monkey. I am glad no one saw me doing that…

A couple of other jokes that have worked out well here in Sweden:
– A ship full of the finest vodka ran aground outside the Swedish west coast and tons of boxes filled with vodka were floating towards the beaches. Thousands of Swedes went to the beaches to catch a box…
– In the 60s when TV was broadcasting in b/w you could turn it into color by skewer a nylon sock on your TV set. Didn’t work…

Or today’s joke in the biggest newspaper:
United Nations will limit all Internet access for Swedes by 2013.

Do you have any embarrassing memories from when you actually bought an April fool’s joke?
