April fools joke

10 years ago today the Opie and Anthony show went on the air and announced that the mayor of Boston Thomas Menino had died in a car crash. This of course was a joke meant for April fools day. Immediately after their announcement citizens of Boston had immediately began calling city hall to see if it was true. Since they had no time to immediately contact the mayor they did not know if he had in fact died. When Mayor Menino discovered this he filed a complaint with the FCC claiming that they knowingly broad casted false information and that was a punishable offense. They were subsequently fired but soon returned om New York city radio.
