Like every year, April Fools swarmed on social networks this Saturday. Institutions, media, companies… everyone went there with their unusual classified ad. Overview of the most beautiful hoaxes.
It didn’t take long to admire the first April Fools this Saturday. The tradition has, this year once more, been respected as it should be. Internet users were able to witness a veritable festival of hoaxes on social networks.
Who better than specialists in the marine environment to throw an April Fool’s joke? In a social media post, the Aquarium releases the video of its “clown fish trainer diver rehearsing“. The teams promise you a show in which you can discover tightrope walker crabs and a contortionist starfish.
Tontouta airport has also integrated the theme of animals into its April Fool’s Day. To mow the shoulders of its track, the infrastructure bet three weeks ago … on Shetland ponies. If you are the owner of a pony, know that the airport offers you to offer him a job!
Would you like a chouchoute hamburger? This is what McDonald’s offers in a post on social networks. “We are still waiting for the McBougna with the fruit bat“, mischievously slips a user under the publication.
More teasingly, Burger King cracks a small mockery of the chain, urging its audience to go “taste the best burgers in the country” at its competitor. The whole followed by a hashtag “eat like a clown (eat like a clown)”.
A gendarmerie brigade made up entirely of cats? This is announced by the gendarmerie of New Caledonia, whose enrolled felines will be equipped with radars and cameras. A choice justified by the large capacity of these animals “to remain motionless and observe for long hours, through the window“.
For their part, the firefighters of New Caledonia also have a big announcement to make: the first brigade of cyclofirefighters will see the light of day, “mainly to carry water on bush fires“.
If you are tempted by culinary innovations, Mustache ice cream offers a new flavor: a Maggi sorbet. “A little touch that will bring originality to your dishes“, guarantees the brand on its Facebook page.
Another exclusive for this April 1st: Aircalin’s touch-sensitive portholes. The airline offers you to choose “your favorite view in just a few clicks” on board planes. An April Fool’s joke that you might almost believe, as augmented reality has evolved in recent years.
Several April Fools to note on local media pages as well. RRB announces for example a quick visit, that of the famous rapper Orelsan. The radio invites its listeners to a signing session with the artist from 3 p.m…. We know a few who are likely to be disappointed.
Radio Cocotier has a scoop: Milakulo Tukumuli would be approached to advise Elon Musk on his strategy with Twitter. The president of the Awakening Oceanian would have been approached “to save“the social network in the face of current difficulties. A nod, of course, to the current Ruamm reform project.
