Judging the April Fools Day jokes in the herald

1st Place : Mate, you're dreamin. Mitre 10 provides a cut out coupon offering 10% more for Aussies.
'At Mitre 10 we believe everyone deserves a fair go, so this weekend we're giving all Australians the opportunity to pay 10% more for any item in store. Simply cut out the coupon and bring it in, along with proof you're a fair dinkum Aussie and you can take advantage of this great offer.'

2nd Place : Cease and desist notice for non-approved use of the word MINI - Kurtze and Grieve.
'As legal representatives for MINI worldwide, we hereby declare the outcome of a landmark international copyright ruling for our client. From today, the word MINI is fully protected by international copyright law. Following is a list of words with suggested alternatives :
Miniskirt - Teenyskirt
Minibus - Babybus
Mini putt - Small putt
Mini keg - Wee keg
Mini-me - Itsy bitsy me
Etc, etc.

3rd Place : Hugh Hefner's new holiday home - a "boost" for Rotorua tourism.
'In what locals have described as a rush of blood to the head, Hugh Hefner has brokered a deal with the Rotorua Museum Trust to convert the final stage of the Rotorua Museum development into his Playboy Holiday Mansion.'

4th Place : Bronze Class. Pacific Blue's new on-board spray tanning service.
'Now you can arrive as you tend to depart. From today, selected flights to Australia and the Pacific will offer an on-board spray-tanning booth so you can bronze up before you arrive. Pack your bikini or budgie smugglers in your carry-on and enjoy a tan at 36,000 feet.'
