摘要:每年的愚人节都会冒出很多新鲜的整人方法,有些方法也是屡试不爽,那么历史上受骗群众最多的五大愚人节玩笑是什么呢,快随小编一起来看看吧。


Taco Liberty Bell—On April 1, 1996, Taco Bell Corporation took out an ad in six major newspapers to say that it was buying the Liberty Bell and renaming it the Taco Liberty Bell. Hundreds of protesters called in to the National Historic Park in Philadelphia, and were only calmed when it was admitted to be a joke.
收购独立大钟:1996年愚人节,Taco Bell公司在6家主流报纸上刊登广告,声称要购买美国著名的“独立大钟”并将其改名为“Taco独立大钟”。大量抗议者给费城国家历史公园打电话投诉,直到“肇事者”承认是恶作剧方才罢休。


Nixon for President—On April 1, 1992, broadcast of NPR's "Talk of the Nation" revealed that Richard Nixon was running for president again under a slogan that said, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I won't do it again." Listeners to the show were shocked and outraged, but the host later revealed it was just a joke。
尼克松又上台了:1992年愚人节,NPR广播台在节目中宣布理查德-尼克松将再次竞选美国总统,竞选口号是:“我没有做错任何事,也不会再做错任何事。” 听众纷纷表示十分震惊万分愤怒,不过后来主持人说这仅仅是个玩笑。


Metric Time—On April 1, 1975, Australia's "This Day Tonight" news program said that the world would be converting to metric time, with 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour and 20-hour days.

1分钟100秒:1975年愚人节,澳大利亚的新闻节目向世界宣布时间度量机制将进行修改,改成1分钟100秒,1小时100分钟,1天20个小时。


Wisconsin State Capital Collapses—On April 1, 1933, the "Madison-Capital Times" announced that the Wisconsin state capital building had been ruined by mysterious explosions that were attributed to build-ups of gas generated through verbose debate in the Senate and Assembly chambers. Many were fooled and angered by the trick.

威斯康星州首府倒塌:1933年愚人节,曼迪迅首府时报宣布由于议会辩论太过啰嗦,生成了不明气体,威斯康星州首府大楼发生了神秘爆炸。众多受骗群众表示:这玩笑也太过分了。


The Comic Strip Switcheroo—On April 1, 1997, comic strip fans opened their newspapers to find that all the characters had been shuffled around and were popping up in alternate comics. A total of 46 comic strip writers banded together for the switch, which had Scott Adams of "Dilbert" taking over the "Family Circus," and Jim Davis of "Garfield" taking over "Blondie" and making Garfield eat one of Dagwood's sandwiches。
漫画大反串:1997年愚人节,连载漫画读者们照常翻开报纸的漫画页——然后傻了眼。他们熟悉的漫画角色都跑到了别的漫画里。46名漫画作家合伙策划了这场大反串,在反串行动里加菲猫和它的主人跑到了“Blondie”中,加菲猫还吃掉了一个“那个世界”的三明治。
