Never tell your nieces and nephews that you ran over Rudolf then take them into the garage where your brother-in-laws are gutting a deer.

(I didn’t do it but I know a guy who did).

I fell for the rock to country format gag one year. I was seriously upset!

I don’t have time to worry about this! They announced yesterday that Martians have landed in Grover’s Mills, but I can’t find any updates! I’m scared!

I have a suspicion that their “suspension” might be part of the gag.

From the article:Two DJ's tossed because of a dumbed down populace. What a shame.

Scott Brown doing the O’Reilly Factor last night also nearly drove me to suicide. Should I sue Fox News?

What a difference 50 years makes. Orson Well’s Martian landing encited mass panic and he went on to be a hollywood legend and these guys tell there listeners that water is coming out of their tap and they get canned. Unbelievable!

I prefer: hydroxylic acid. It sounds even scarier.

Also known as Oxidane.

Yeah, that’s my take -

the DJs are in trouble because their listeners are too stupid.

Thus proving that there isn’t any limit to stupidity. (as if the election of 0bama didn’t already prove that.)

For years the team of Harden and Weaver (WMAL AM WashDC) used to push a ‘pop corn stuffing’ recipe around Thanksgiving and Christmas...

The main ingredient was cups of RAW pop corn and you figured the bird was done once its arse blew the oven door open.

They had great presentation and the skit never lost its humor and there was always someone wanting to ‘sue’ because it sounded so good people would ‘try’ it.

So ‘DUMMIES’ aren’t restricted to the present era.

Or when Soupy Sales told the kids in his audience to go get out those green pieces of paper in Mommy’s purse & Daddy’s wallet (both passed out on New Year’s morning), remit same to: The Soupy Sales Show, WNBC, New York, “and in return I will send you a postcard from Puerto Rico”.

OK that wasn’t April Fool but still kind of funny.

Welcome to The United People’s Socialist Republic of North America, where the stupidity of others is now your liability.

You can’t do pranks like this when the majority are fools.

Yep, hurts the dumbasses' self-esteem, or some such.

I'm reminded of the "stand up comedy" Roman scene in History of the World, Part I:

"Get off the fat jokes!!"

Oh. For. G-d’s sake. How damn dumb can people be. I’m afraid to leave for Florida on Sunday. Are the fish that damn dumb? I hope so. Load up and go home.

I think if those listeners are that stupid, they NEED to be concerned

The radio station has a poll on the page about reinstating the DJs, and 80% of the morons say “Never!” WTF is the matter with these retards?

I'd like to believe that the poll is just an extended part of the prank, but given recent election results...

Lee County Utilities immediately called Gator Country to find out if they'd been fooled themselves. . . . "So we went ahead and contacted the general manager and the station to get them to stop reporting that and to let them know that the water was safe to drink.,” said DiPiero.

So the water utility board itself didn't understand that dihydrogen monoxide is water? The movie "Idiocracy" really is our future.

“As for Val and Scott, they’ve been suspended indefinitely.”

What a bunch of crap! The poor wittle officials can’t take an honest joke. The DJ’s were not lying and that is all that counts in this case. Everyone should have taken it as an educational experience and move on. What a pansy society we live in today. The people deserve to have the slave masters they are about to get.
