If you remember back on April 1st of this year, that hallowed day of sight gags and outright lies known as April Fools' Day, we ran a piece about BMW's war on dog pee. Yes, the electrified wheels invented by the UK's Metro and coined the "Canine Repellent Alloy Protection System" was part of our Ten Best Or Worst April Fools' Day Automotive Gags, but somehow, the Times of India picked it up as a real story. The CRAPS system was real enough to shock our fictional Rex's doggie bag, and real enough to prompt TOI to get a secondary quote from an animal advocacy group. Hey Times, did you guys know 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary? (Mike the Dog gets a tip of the hat) [Times Of India, HERE if it disappears]
