[...] A gde bi drugo ona bila postavljena, nego u megalomanskom Dubaiu. Sa svojim dimenzijama od 100×200m, priznata je kao najveÄ‡a od stane zvaniÄnika Ginisove knjige rekorda. Ovakve reklame su veÄ‡ vidjene kod londonskog Gatwick-a (zabranjena i dozvoljena), pustinji kod Las Vegasa, a postojala je i priÄa o dÅ¾inovskom iPodu, meÄ‘utim, ispostavilo se da je ona bila laÅ¾na.

You may have pulled on of the best April-fools jokes in history, at least in computer-history!

Thanks, I utterly enjoyed it!

April Fool jokes are pathetic, lame, transparent, and just not funny. Thank you. You accomplished a true joke worthy of a spot in the All Fools Hall of Fame. Well thought out, the right amounts of truth and fabrication, the poker game to add a little bravado. Then the topper, returning later to find the message. Magnificent. We are not worth.

[...] ===Updated 7 April 2006=== It was revealed that the post was a hoax, but the structure does exist in Paddington, Western Australia. Maybe soon it will be a mecca for the mac-heads [...]

thought u might like this.

The best online joke was ours of course, but I also liked the imagery linked to in a post entitled "iPod Image Seen from Space" on March 26th. I know it was a few days early but the image from GoogleMaps depicts a large structure that looks quit like an iPod, click-wheel 'n'all reader Arthur points out that this is most likely an image of two evaporation basins side by side, one nearly full and one partially drained. I like the iPod ads from space better.

Philipp you are always more than welcome to call it anything you like! Some are referring to it as a hoax, some say april fool, one bloke called it “the birth of an urban legend”; some people are still convinced it’s real and some people just call it a tailings dam and wonder what the fuss is about. It’s whatever you want it to be.

I thought it was perfectly timed to happen as the first glimmers of April 1st occurred in the first place in the world ???
This should qualify as a true April Fooler … Let’s not get too parochial about things!

it was fun to watch a small April fool that was intended for a few family and friends as it went global!

Not to spoil the fun but it wasn’t an April fool’s, as you released it before April 1st.. didnt ya? So, it was just a regular all-year round hoax…
