It's kinda sad when people aren't sure when you're joking, if you know what I mean.

Any good April Fool's prank has to have a grain of truth to it in order to succeed.

I can't tell if the aired story was true or tongue-in-cheek, since I don't speak French. The video is here. Perhaps one of the French-speaking FReepers can watch and tell us.

The discussion in this forum claims that the article "cetais un poisson d'avril" - a fish of April. The translated French version of Wikipedia says that "un poisson d'avril" French for April Fool's joke (literally, a fish of April).

Color me suspicious.
