Victraders didn't participate in the April 1st fools game not
that there weren't some possible headlines appropriate for our market. Take for
example -
"Melbourne Music Week Becomes Monthly Event At QVM"
Or
"Underground Car Park Facilities To Include Solar
Panels"
Neither would really qualify because April Fools
headlines have to be at least slightly believable which leads us to some of the
headlines around Australia yesterday.
"Four-wheel-drives
will be banned from all Territory roads from next year" - yes that
turned out to be fake and the article was actually having a dig at all the
pristine four wheel drives in our country that rarely see a dirt road.
"TV Series, Downton Abbey, To Be Recreated In 70's Disco
Era" - this article arose from the news that Downton Abbey is in its final
season and there is much speculation about a revival of the British class theme
somewhere down the track. We'll let you decide if that could be fact or
fiction.
But our favourite headline on April 1st was this one -
"Shooters and Fisher's Party Join With Australian Sex Party
To Form Sex Pistols."
- as one commentator put it - “Bullets and bongs are just natural bedfellows.”
