billygoats Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I think this college paper thing with April fools is pretty stupid. In the Spectrum every article was a fools prank, so I don't think anyone would fall for any of them (which IMO the point of the day is to fool someone). If you want to publish an additional paper that is always phony like the onion that is fine, but printing an entire edition full of make believe is stupid. It would be much more likely for someone to be fooled if all the articles were real except for one or two of them. Then the reader wouldn't be able to look at the other titles and realize that it is April 1. Just my opinion, but if they are trying to emulate a real paper, printing an entire bogus issue is ridiculous. I also wasn't impressed with the decision to Print the Ralph Wilson article.
