Yep, it's funny all right. The best part is the actual link to a Guardian article. How did they get that into the Guardian?

The famous Panorama report with Richard Dimbleby, which showed women picking newly 'grown' spaghetti off 'spaghetti trees'. I still buckle up in laughter everytime I see that broadcast. It was one of the all time great April fool spoofs.
As to the Sans Seriffe article - bloody brilliant. I haven't laughed as much in ages. A classic.
