Somebody else suggested the same today, too, according to the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/howaboutthat/11506686/April-Fools-Day-2015-The-best-spoofs-and-pranks-in-pictures.html?frame=3251919.

My GF told me this morning that she saw that British story in Swedish TV today:)

Remember old B/W TVs?
Classic April Fool's joke of 1962: Using a nylon stocking to get color TV.
