Fool's Errand

So I followed up on the obvious and poorly-conceived April Fool's Day joke purported by Walter E. Smithe and found a bit more information on the retailer's website.

This little tidbit was part of a press release posted on the site:

As part of the deal, Walter E. Smithe will be putting a permanent dome on top of the field. Their architects did a terrific job blending the traditional, old Wrigley Field with modern amenities. A new baseball venue is a great gift to the city of Chicago.

A rendering of the new Smithe Field dome confirms the farce.

This is so silly that I'm not angry anymore. Actually, I may even take pleasure today every time I hear a worried Cubs fan complain.
