This must be an April Fool

I was browsing through the Guardian trying to spot the April Fool article and I thought I'd found it straight away. A headline on page 2 said Mandelson emerges as new frontrunner to chair BBC. Unfortunately, on reading the content it started to sound definitely un-jokey and horribly real. What will be the next nomination from the government: Attila the Hun for Archbishop of Canterbury, perhaps? And the government wonders why the public is cynical about politicians.

Did you miss the BMW advert, it was in the Telegraph and I think it is also in the Groaniad.

Re: This must be an April Fool

There was a classic April fool on the Everton FC site, where they show their new kit, and it has a big Liver bird on it in red, and they explain that it's to celebrate Liverpools culture

EDIT And also "the BBC should re-establish its commitment to subjects at the core of its public service remit, such as the property market".

OK, I hold my hands up! Good one, Grauniad!

The Sun one was of a most ammusing nature. About the new police camera's, which they fit to hawks which fly over the motorway and video cars with

Actually, in retrospect, at least a third of the articles in the sun today could be april fools.
