In 1957 the respected BBC news show Panorama announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees.
Huge numbers of viewers were taken in, and many called up wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti trees. To this question, the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
In 1962 there was only one tv channel in Sweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's technical expert, Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily convert their existing sets to display color reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their tv screen, and they would begin to see their favorite shows in color. Stensson then proceeded to demonstrate the process.
In 1996 the Taco Bell Corporation announced that it had bought the Liberty Bell from the federal government and was renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of outraged citizens called up the National Historic Park in Philadelphia where the bell is housed to express their anger.
Then White House press secretary Mike McCurry was asked about the sale, and he responded that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold, though to a different corporation, and would now be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial.
Last night, National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation program announced that George Bush, in a surprise move, was running for President again in 2008.
His new campaign slogan was, "When God speaks to me, everyone else must listen because I am the decider".
Accompanying this announcement were audio clips of Bush delivering his candidacy speech. Some listeners have already responded viscerally to the announcement, flooding the show with calls expressing shock and outrage.
During his speech, Bush said that he plans to invade North Korea and Iran immediately after this years mid term elections to consolidate his power and if anyone is against him on this decision, he will dismantle Congress and declare martial law.
He also said that the private equity firm, "Carlyle Group" was to be declared a national treasure and would go public in 2008 at a valuation of $1000 per share, offering a trillion dollars worth of stock to the global investment community.
Carlyle recently made an offer to consolidate Boeing and the European Aerospace Defense Service, parent of Airbus Industries, Boeings only global competitor. The Bush and Bin Laden families together own and control slightly more than 10% of the Carlyle Group.
