Volume One's April Fools' Day Prank
On April 1, 2005, Volume One printed a short blurb saying Bruce Willis and Jessica Alba would be making an appearance at Oakwood Mall in Eau Claire for the opening of the movie "Sin City." Once the rumor hit the streets, it didn't take long before there was live TV coverage, a front-page newspaper story, and all sorts of angry fans, phone calls, and radio show chatter. This short film documents the absurdity of that now infamous April Fools' Day. Enjoy.

ah yes, back when Volume One wasn't so civic minded. I miss those days.
The Metallica one was my personal fave.
