Filipinos are bringing up a clip of an episode of an old American syndicated nontraditional court show where a man got a tattoo on his forehead after falling for a prank on April Fools’ Day.
This was resurfaced after Taragis, a Pampanga-based takoyaki food brand, gained traction for challenging its followers on Facebook to have its logo tattooed on their foreheads for P100,000.
In the now-deleted viral post, the brand announced that the first individual who would send a picture of their tattooed forehead will win the supposed cash prize.
The post was uploaded on April 1, the same date the global community observes the annual day of jokes and pranks.
Taragis also wrote the following text in its graphic: “Click the photo for official rules.”
Clicking the photo accompanying its Facebook post reveals a full version of the graphic with a colorful text below, which reads: “April Fool’s.”
Basically, someone actually followed through with the "challenge" and had his forehead tattooed 😢
Sucks to be ignored for a week (and counting) after reaching out about something literally close to home
