Try youtube, and try to view a video from the homepage .
Over here a few newspapers turned into a humorpaper. The head editors now were famous comedians. Some funny stuff in there.
I got mother this morning. I shouted at the dog pretending he pooed in the house, got some kitchen roll and made it look like I picked it up, then threw the kitchen roll at mother. She went mad.
Quote from Glenn67 :There was a good one here in Australia a few years ago.

The two most popular local radio stations switched transmission frequencies for the morning, you can imagine all the people driving to work thinking wtf

Last year two radio stations did that here. The kicker was that one was a Spanish-language station and the other wasn't. Rather interesting.
In Norway today, a police department claimed they will switch all their police cars with electric cars which are very fast, 100% silent and low cost. Hah! I actually smiled that, even if it was obvious. And www.statkraft.no claims to have discovered "Star energy" as an alternate power source.
XKCD, Questionable Content and Qwantz all switched comic pages.
Target audience was people on the ambulance.

My Idea for this year was:

For this year, I would setup a training exercise with the help of some people higher up then myself. We at the ambulance core have training exercise from time to time, we call them Signal 38s, as when we get on scene FireCom comes back and then informs the crew that it's a 38, but most people don't know what a signal 38 is.

So, for this year, I was thinking about making a Pedestrian Stuck scene. With myself as the pedestrian, and my girlfriend would be on crew. I would set up the ped struck on a side street that we can close off, as we have to use of Nassau County Police, and I would make it just look as real as possible. Get some fake blood, soak myself in it, so people really don't know it's me until they get a good look at me. I would ware scrubs so that they could cut off my cloths, I would have my wallet in my pocket should I need to go 'Unresponsive' so they can still get patent information.

I think I am still going to do this, even tho I missed April 1st. I'll be sure to take pictures so you can all see it.

Anyway, Dutch police "tried" to do a joke too.. but they suck at it and it wasn't funny either..

Quote :Police makes time for april fools joke.
movement maintaining must be left to the police force and lets joke makers but do where they are well in: joke makes! If the police force will break down itself on this area, it already rapidly cheap and supporter become.
Where there in abundance robbers and other offenders walk around separately and all attention ask, the utrechtse police force has made time today to send out that a press bulletin a well-known announcer of English a car programme with a speed of 450 km/u would be caught in its Bugatti Veyron on the Lirpaweg in Leidsche rijn. And Lirpa are opposite ` April.
Rocking we read further that the 47 person whose birthday it is J.C. wants invented flitspaal in the country of origin be in the Netherlands too rapidly. Afterwards still a heap blabla concerning the fact that the car was intensified and that because of the astronomic speed on the made photograph the kenteken to read was not. "the verdachte was apprehended", thus it finishes reported.
Are able proceed we to the order of day ladies and lords of the hermandad and save to our next year such a tastless attack on our lachspieren! Look simply to top Gear, which is at least real nice.
