April Fools’: Fake Boulder news release touts city’s presidential cat-breeding program
In what has become a semi-annual tradition, a mock news release purporting to be from the city of Boulder was issued on the eve of April Fools’ Day, this time announcing the donation of a cat to the White House from a fake feline-breeding program funded by marijuana taxes.
The fake release, sent to the Daily Camera today, announced that a “mew” president will be sworn in to the White House in 2017 via the “First Cat” program out of Boulder.
“We now have 3 cats being prepared for the eventual president,” the release reads. “One cat to match each candidate. Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. It will be up to the president to name the cat.”
