April Fool’s! If readers felt something askew in the weekend edition of SMDP, it was because something was. In our annual tradition of “fooling” our readers, the content of the “Santa Monica Daily Mess” was entirely made up. Our apologies to anyone who found it offensive, upsetting or just plain not funny. But we hope that, like in previous editions, readers managed to find the humor in the erroneous and were reminded not to take ourselves too seriously.
