It’s April Fool’s and several RD2 employees are online finishing up client work for Sunday (this part is not a joke) so I figured I would share my favorite April Fool’s prank.
The Guardian, back in 1977, released a special report on the nation of San Serriffe located – that year – in the Indian Ocean. This nation consisted of two separate islands, Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse. The capital city of Bodoni was once held in militaristic fashion by the General Pica, however democratic elections began in 1997.
The Flong are the primary inhabitants of San Serriffe, but it is also the home of European colonists known as the colons.
This particular article has been the basis for many other Guardian articles in the last 30 years. I wonder if the good people of San Serriffe finally got around to expanding that Arial airport of theirs.
