      Oh, I see. But all comments seem to be in on the joke, so I assumed the original one was somewhere else. I don't use FB

        The facebook link where the jokes are is here: https://www.facebook.com/NPR/posts/10202059501509428?stream_ref=10 https://www.facebook.com/NPR/posts/10202059501509428?stream_...

          Thanks. Maybe that's the one that should get submitted! Succesful troll is successful :)

            You caught me, you red beyond the headline. And BTW this also happens to break Betteridge's law of headlines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines

            @yiedyie Well, I'm not from America ;P

  Wat. This seems a bit belated in it's submission to HN.
  • Theodores 13y ago
    ...it is because nobody read the original article.

  The only thing worse than April Fools Day is the submission of April Fools jokes five days after the fact. This was a rather lame one too.
