Cars wrapped in plastic for April Fools' Day prank

UPDATE 9.47am: RESIDENTS have woken to find their cars wrapped in cling wrap in an April Fool's Day stunt that swept inner-city Melbourne.

The cling-film bandits struck at popular shopping precincts, outside railway stations and in sought-after residential areas, tightly wrapping cars in the plastic wrap.

At least 28 cars were reportedly wrapped including one vehicle in Clarendon St in South Melbourne, another on Domain Rd, South Yarra, Church St, Richmond and again at Clifton Hill railway station.

heraldsun.com.au found about six cars that had been wrapped in plastic film early this morning on Victoria Pde in East Melbourne.

Motorist James Rzan said it was a bizarre sight so early in the morning.

"There was a Holden ute outside Coles in Clarendon St that has been wrapped from top to bottom, even the tyres, the bonnet and the doors,'' Mr Rzan said.

"I think somebody has lost their marbles, it's one out of the box for sure.''

The note on the ute said: "Happy April Fools Day love Evie''.

Police media Sen-Constable Melissa Seach said the wave of cling-wrapping was not being investigated by police because there had been no damage to vehicles.

Police spokeswoman Julie-Anne Newman said it was unclear how many cars had been hit by the prank this morning.

Victoria’s Tourism Minister Tim Holding has got in on the act today, “announcing” that Melbourne would bid to host the Running of the Bulls through the city’s laneways.

Mr Holding said Melbourne could steal the event from Pamplona, which has held it since the late 13th century, when the contract expires.

“For too long the people of Pamplona have monopolised this event, the Brumby Government is determined to grab the bull by the horns and snare this important event for Melbourne,” Mr Holding said.

“Melbourne has a year-round calendar of major events unrivalled around the world.

“The Formula One Grand Prix, Australian Open tennis, the Spring Racing Carnival and Tiger Woods coming here later this year – the Running of the Bulls would be the icing on the cake.”

He said the bull run would start at the Paris End of Collins Street, travel through Chinatown, across Swanston Street, through the “quaint King Street district” and end at Etihad Stadium.

Mr Holding said the city would also consider renaming a smash hit musical Bully Elliot for the week of the event.

According to tradition, people can pull pranks before noon today in the name of April Fools' Day but become the fool if they do it in the afternoon.

Well the I didn't get hit by the Conficker worm today, but then I am using a work computer.

But I didn't get a call from home either saying that something happened to the ones there.

Some one on another site mentioned that most of the viruses are created by techs who don't have jobs and want to be hired to neutralize the very viruses they created. Or by Anti Virus companys that want you to spend big bucks cuz they claim that only they can remove the virus.

Some of the people I used to work with at my local Wal-Mart used to do that to members of management when they would relocate to another store. They sure used a hell of a lot of shrinkwrap over the years.
