Some of the well known and most successful pranks or practical joke were on the medie-television, radio station, newspapers...for instance, a BBC television program ran a famous hoax in 1975, showing Italians harvesting spaghetti from trees. A large number of people contacted the BBC wanting to know how to cultivate spaghetti trees. In 2008, the BBC again reported on a newly discovered colony of flying penguins showing people walking with the penguins in Antarctica, and following their flight to the Amazon rainforest.
