SPOOF: Found guilty of cruelty

On the front page of the Coeur d’Alene Press April 1 in Large Bold Print was an article about 3,000 jobs coming to Coeur d’Alene. I read it quickly and was excited that a mattress manufacturer was moving here. I thought of people I knew who had lost their jobs and my heart was pounding. I read the article again and knew something was wrong; the pay was $2,500/week and the benefits were off the wall. You would be required to test mattresses and rather sleep than work. I didn’t find this humorous. We have many people unemployed and I can imagine how excited some people may have gotten when they saw this, and the disappointment when they figured out it was a joke.

Can’t The Press do something for Fools’ Day that would make people smile?
