The story reportedly was picked up by '60 Minutes II', the Associated Press, and numerous local radio stations before everyone realized it was just a joke, people. Now, this was a group that allegedly provided the homeless with guns and ammunition instead of shelter and food.

And on April 1st, 1999, the Phoenix New Times ran a hoax story about the Arm the Homeless Coalition.

They even had footage of Swiss farmers pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees, and people actually called into the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. April 1st, 1957, the BBC News show 'Panorama' reported that thanks to a very mild winter and the extermination of the spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were harvesting record spaghetti crops. OK, not really, but we can have a little fun.

Yep, it's that one day of the year that we in the media can pull a fast one on you guys and report, yeah, whatever we want. Journalists have an explicit responsibility to inform the public, to tell the truth, and to report 100 percent factually accurate stories, except on April Fools' Day.
