They're having fun in Chicago


I know it's April Fool's Day and I hate April Fools jokes, but this one was real. The Chicago Tribune, in a ruse that has drawn some minor ethical criticism, won a $1,000 prize from the Chicago Sun Times contest about the renaming of Wrigley Field.

The Sun Times was trying to do something to embarrass Tribune owner Sam Zell, but instead had the tables turned by a journalism intern.

The link below is to the Chicago Tribune website and the video that won the award. It probably was a little over the line, but it's funny nonetheless. Enjoy! And if you're really bored or sitting home spending your buyout play the "Name the Wrigley Field" game under the video.
