I've heard about that one - it's great, but my favorite is the radio announcer that announced on his show one day that: (BTW, I'm paraphrasing)
"Some unheard of news today from the White House. You all know that the country is deep in debt, so Congress thought that a good way to raise some money is to sell advertising or sponsorship on the various monuments and historical items throughout the country. So, long story short, we will now refer to the Liberty Bell as the Taco Liberty Bell. Not stopping there, we will now and forever call that monument in Washington the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial."
Ok ok - I didn't tell it right, but I'm not erasing all of that! According to Wikipedia, here's the story:
"On April 1, 1996, Taco Bell took out a full-page advertisement in seven leading U.S. newspapers announcing that the company had purchased the Liberty Bell to "reduce the country's debt" and renamed it the "Taco Liberty Bell". Thousands of people had called Taco Bell headquarters and the National Park Service before it was revealed at noon on April 1 that the story was a hoax. White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry responded that the federal government was also "selling the Lincoln Memorial to Ford Motor Co. and renaming it the Lincoln-Mercury Memorial".
I wish I could say I remembered that happening, but I don't. I was busy working a new job.
