With April Fool’s being on a Friday this year, news of some of the day’s best pranks has been delayed. That‘s why we’re first learning about this gem today between two TV anchors, which was so “good” it led its target to stomp off set in embarrassment.
Mediaite sets up the clip:
San Diego morning show viewers were treated to [anchor Raoul] Martinez pretending to describe an amazing new iPad app that allowed users to “smell” and “taste” food right on their tablet.
Martinez demonstrated with his phone, insisting he could smell something. When [co-anchor Shally] Zomorodi was handed an iPad, she failed to smell anything and her friendly co-anchor urged her to try tasting it. And she did.
Here’s the hilarious segment from KSWB:

Posted on April 4, 2011 at 4:18pmMy wife caught this live on the TV on Friday. She was cracking up. I still like the one the local radio show (Dave Shelly and Chainsaw) did back in 1993 tricking thousands to go to a municipal airport to watch the space shuttle land…. which wasn’t even in orbit. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/top1003.html #30 at the bottom of the page

Posted on April 4, 2011 at 3:57pmI pretended I‘d left my house keys at my mother’s house, while my wife and I were in front of our house, and she had to use the bathroom. She was not pleased. The kids got a big kick out of it though!

Too late. “The Naked News” has been online for about 10 years. Used to be free. Not so much anymore.
