Who says it's a joke?

I love the fake pages that have become an April Fool's tradition on the Internet. I just started this morning with what rhymes with nüvi then worked backwards.

The nüvi 690 has such a sensor. It is called the FuzzAlert (patent pending). It's just like the Red Light Camera alert except it is set to go off whenever you are in proximity of a donut shop. mrgreen
