- I hate to break the bad news to you but that is the whole purpose of a practical joke. Nobody like being the butt of any joke but why should the radio station get punished over the gullibility of a stupid listener?

Hmmm.... Should any advertisement be able to be called a "practical joke" whenever a store or business establishment decides to not to honor it?

Great point..

How about McDonalds advertises that they are giving away Free Big Macs, and then when you drive out there they go, "Ha Ha, We're just kidding!"

They would be under violation of the law for false advertising!

There are alot of idiots in the world, and this thread is bringing them out of the woodworks with their defense of the radio station.

April Fools is tradition in this country and I hate to see that practical jokes on that day become illegal because of some hypersensitive dumbasses can't take a joke.

Boo-hoo, you hurt my feelings. Give me a break and grow up. You sound like all the other idiots out there who are "offended" at everything.

So, If someone were to say to you

"A priest, a rabbi, an exotic dancer, and a duck walk into a bar."

you would take it as a news bulletin?

Here are pictures on the station's website, mentioned in the article. I can't post them here because the site won't let me: http://www.play1039.net/hummer.html#
