Let's Hear It: Which Was Your Favorite April Fools Article

The link at the top of the homepage that says "World Famous Message Boards".

Oh, is that always there? Huh...

The Lost? Click Here? threw me off. I thought that was the joke. When I came back I was seriously scratching my head why the two top runners would skip outdoors. I bought it hook line and sinker. I figured, maybe the one guy feels bad that he's such much older than everyone. Great job!

Meb winning Boston. You guys really had me going there.

The registration requirement was a nice poke at yourselves. I especially liked the "20 minute long run" reference. Well done all around.

This one:

*LRC Analysis – Two Quick Thoughts: The move to ban the mile announced by USATF today is actually a logical outcome of USATF’s recent shift in direction. The mile is an old event originated by white men. As Bob Hersh can attest, old and white and male has no place in USATF moving forward.

It's funny because it's true.

The Jenkins/Cheserek article was fantastic. I bought it until I saw the April Fools tag at the bottom. I thought they were all pretty well done, really stretching your belief towards the end. Very good job.

The "good news for ritz" thread that you started. That was a classic!

The 'Mo Aman becoming an American citizen' article was hilarious, especially the pearls of wisdom from Nick Symmonds at the end... I genuinely laughed out loud when I read it the first time!

My favorite: The USATF Bans the Mile Run From Being Run in America. LOL. Especially this part:

"The mile is an old event originated by white men. As Bob Hersh can attest, old and white and male has no place in USATF moving forward.”

Good one, with a little poke to the libs on this forum.

You guys did a great job. The Jenkins/Cheserek article got me for a minute. Good work, guys.

It was cited by another website reporting it as news. I myself missed the tag at the bottom, apparently this guy did too.

Wow. That is the U of Oregon student newspaper. Apparently he fell for it hook, line and sinker.

His piece was published, then someone must have alerted him to April Fools and then he admitted it to his mistake with good humor on twitter:

But the newspaper didn't take it down. Somehow I hope it makes the print edition. Is there a daily print edition?

This is great!

The intelligence level is not high around here. That is why you fooled only fools.

Feel better about yourself now?
