NPR has even been adding MAJOR clues that the annual April Fool's Day story is an April Fool's Day Joke, but some people STILL write them the Angry emails, Totally NOT getting the joke.

Here's the link to the joke story: <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89284569>

And here's the link to the angry emails: <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89318823> :rofl:

Oh, and PRI's Market Place had a pretty good one too this year

Marketplace April Fool's Day Joke: <http://marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2008/04/01/april_1st/>

Here's today's Marketplace, there's not letters, but the host remarks "Yeah, it was a joke" after the first report on markets:

2. Yup, and I have to admit, they had me going there for a few minutes...
...but then I figured it out and got the joke.

But I think their best April Fools Day joke was the one where they said the Library of Congress was returning to the old "tried and true" way of archiving music and transferring CDs to Shellac records for their archive.
