Media and marketers have their fun with April fools
April 1 brings on the fool in many of us and this year has been no exception.
The team at Mumbrella were pleased to see many of our readers picked up on our Australian Financial Review to move to broadsheet prank (a special thanks to the guys at the AFR for being such good sports).
While some people did get caught out we were particularly amused by the guys at The Australian who joined in with their own tongue-in-cheek suggestions around page 3 girls for their (potential) broadsheet rival.
well if they were only copying that bit of flak it’s probably OK
Hilarious that Amanda Meade based her AF joke on the French Survivor program, which indeed did cancel filming due to a contestant dying last week.
Even funnier that the on-set Dr committed suicide apparently due to media pressure about the contestants death.
Ah, the LOL’s…
I’m not sure what Amanda meant when she claimed she wrote the joke to highlight the dangers of show…
So, if a contestant DOES suffer a heart attack during shooting of ABL next season, I guess Amanda can say, “Well I joked about this back in April”.
