My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

April fools...Sweden, like the UK has a few decent April-Fool's gags that have gone down in history.
The "Colour TV Hoax" of 1962 is the most famous one in Sweden.
STV was the only tv broadcaster at the time, and they wheeled on their technical expert who explained lots of tech-garble about light refraction and double-slit interference, and how a tight mesh infront of a black TV screen would allow people to see their B&W Tv in Colour.
It was further explained that after much testing, they had discovered Nylon Stockings were the best for this job. Thousands of Swedes went running for rolls of tape and stockings and diligently fitted them to their TV's
Many admit that they had to be told weeks later that it was a joke... and that they could remove the stockings from their TV sets.
Lovely...
