Largest April Fools Joke to date

Last week a story ripped across the Internet, which we mentioned about a giant iPod ad to be unveiled on April 1, Apple’s Anniversary.

Well, it turns out that this was an April Fools joke that was intended for the writer’s family but it just exploded! The story was even written up on reputable news sites such as CNN Money.

The “iPod” was actually a tailings dam.

As George W. Bush says…”Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
