Yeah, I get the feeling that there's a bunch of people out there that at some time had their beebers stunned and now take themselves too seriesly.

So I guess April 1 should be a national holiday since we should all know better than to trust anyone on that day. Throw away the paper, turn off the TV, don't surf the net, because we should all know better than to believe that any honest information would be relayed on April 1.
It was a great April Fools gag. I have a feeling this lady will get the last laugh.
What does your post have to do with the law?
OTOH, I hate morning DJ's
My wife loves that movie! i was kinda like: "Whaaa....????"
This case could be worse. It could have been another type of hummer entirely which they were giving away...
OK, here's the best practical joke that was ever played on me. Funny? You be the judge.
I was installing a countertop in my basement. Nothing is quite square down there, so things had to be torqued down pretty hard. I was behind a wall, putting the final turn on the last bolt, when I heard a sickening, splintering crack from the countertop.
I went tearing around the corner. There was my brother, looking concerned. I checked the counter thoroughly, swearing like a sailor, but could find nothing wrong. Then I turned around and there was my brother, smirking, each hand holding half of the piece of scrap wood that he broke at a very precise moment.
It was years ago, but I still laugh really hard when I think of it.
And the 22-inch rims? Oh, my...
Here are pictures on the station's website, mentioned in the article. I can't post them here because the site won't let me: http://www.play1039.net/hummer.html#
LOL!
Good for her. I hate idiot disc jockeys.
OK... we have offically hit bottom and have begun to dig...
LOL, btw - I hate to admit it, but it's true.
Surely, you mean "Hugh can't be Sirius."
Let's face it, this thread is getting that silly that we might as well throw that it, too.

Agreed. At least the "100 Grand" scam had some humor to it, and the "Toy Yoda" giveaway was, IMO, inspired.

I remember a few years ago when Mars candy bars had a promotion that if you collected 1,000,000 Mars wrappers they would send you on a trip to Mars. Much to their astonishment, a couple from Indiana managed to collect the wrappers and demanded their prize. So the candy company sent them to Mars, Germany and gave them a lifetime supply of chocolate.
Mars, Pennsylvania would have been alot cheaper for them.
If they tried that kind of wordplay for this particular build up they would have gotten into even more trouble.
I see your point but the prize specified was a Hummmer not a TOY Hummer.
The Hummer is a motor vehicle- it is (technically) incorrect to refer to a model of a H2 as 'a Hummmer'-
Practical jokes are not covered by law -- prizes and contests over the air waves however, are. The woman has a case.
