April Fools
This week we celebrated the first of April which means just
one thing, it was April fool’s day!
We all celebrate this in different ways and if you’re
anything like the marketing team, you were sceptical of any pranks that might
be pulled on your by your colleagues.
Every year the organisations deemed most unlikely to pull
off an April Fools prank, do. Here are some of this year’s top pranks:
Square Eggs
ITV reported that a Freedom Food Farm had become the first
in the world to rear chickens that lay square eggs. They even interviewed a “farmer”
who worked with the chickens. Although the story was ridiculous it was
presented in such a way that made many believe it was real (including me!).
New Pound Coin
The Telegraph online reported that Alex
Salmond, a Scottish politician was to replace the queen on the new Scottish
pound coin which sparked up mass controversy.
Banning the Selfie
The Metro announced that the British Government will be
banning the ‘Selfie’ shortly. Needless to say it was not taken too seriously.
Cats you may know
If you are a cat lover like me the next prank will really take
the top position. LinkedIn introduced a ‘cats you may know’ page in which cats will be able to
network with other cats, and see potential contacts th ey’ve ran into in the
streets or seen messing around in their owner’s yard.
Have a great weekend!
