Today is April 1st - April Fool's.
Even today a lot of people get fooled by jokers. Some are very obvious, while others are really well thought out...
In 1969 the Dutch TV News reported that on April 1st a big national campaign was to be held to catch so-called 'black viewers' – people who didn't pay their license fee for radio and tv.
Inspectors were to drive through the streets with scanners to catch the perpetrators. "Is there anything to do about that?" asked a journalist. "No, because I cannot imagine people wrapping their TV set in aluminium foil," responded one of the inspectors. The aluminium foil would block the scanners' signal of the passing-by inspectors.
The next day all the aluminium foil in all the stores was sold out within a few hours!
