Popular Post Replay: The Taco Liberty Bell?

This post was first published on April Fool's Day in 2009 and it was one of the more popular posts of that year.  Enjoy.

A little April fools day humor courtesy of the Huffington Post.

The Taco Liberty Bell

In 1996, Taco Bell ran an ad in six major newspapers saying:
"In an effort to help the national debt, Taco Bell is pleased to announce that we have agreed to purchase the Liberty Bell, one of our country's most historic treasures. It will now be called the 'Taco Liberty Bell' and will still be accessible to the American public for viewing. While some may find this controversial, we hope our move will prompt other corporations to take similar action to do their part to reduce the country's debt."

Many politicians' offices were taken in, as the Park Service received phone calls from aides to Sens. Bill Bradley (D-NJ) and J. James Exon (D-Neb).
