Oranges are not the only....

Many people have enjoyed, and are still enjoying the Tangerinegate hoax - a made-up tale of Gordon Brown chucking said fruit into an industrial-scale laminator in anger during a works visit. Comedian/actor Robert Popper, posing as a shocked employee, made the call to LBC, where the eager phone-in host was Andrew Pierce. He must have been more suspicious than he sounds on the audio - the story made it into the Telegraph, Andrew's former paper, but not The Daily Mail, his current main employer.







The FT blogged about it, but have since admitted they were hoaxed.
