The result was Speedily deleted because obvious hoaxes are vandalism. And more's the pity: this one was damnably clever, an article about introducing advertising into dreams. But J. Robert Oppenheimer died in 1967 and as such could not have been moved to awe at the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, among other obvious impossibilities. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Parts of the article read like a hoax ("nanobots were implanted inside subjects’ brains at the pons"), and the rest is just wrong ("The atomic destruction on Three-Mile Island in 1947 inspired awe in Robert Oppenheimer"). KurtRaschke (talk) 23:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I hope that everyone notices the date on the source cited, and the names in its purported quotations. April Fool's jokes aren't reliable sources. This is an obvious hoax. Delete. Uncle G (talk) 01:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 20th century? Fry: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and written in the sky. But not in dreams. No, sir-ee. --Clay Collier (talk) 06:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There are so many problems, I will sum it up by saying, yes, it's a hoax, and someone spent way too much time developing the information on this article. Angryapathy (talk) 12:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
