Snoop Dogg says he "can't get enough of the Book of Mormon."

Results are in and the best hoax of this year's April Fools Day began like this:
DIAMOND BAR, California (AP) — In what some may consider an unexpected move, rap artist “Snoop Dogg” has reportedly converted to Mormonism after nearly a year of study with the fast-growing, Utah-based faith.

Snoop Dogg says he “can’t get enough of the Book of Mormon.”
... and didn't let up:

Though Snoop Dogg has been hesitant to publicly discuss his recent spiritual journey, he commented on the experience of attending his first “Family Home Evening” in a recent interview with People Magazine.

“I was hooked from the start,” Snoop Dogg said. “We talked about the purpose of life, played Mousetrap, and ate brownies. The kids thought it was off the hook, for real.”

It was, of course, obviously bogus. Not that Snoop Dogg would eschew the Word of Wisdom or even a game of Moustrap — but, duh, the Associated Press abbreviates state names in datelines.

I'm sure the Bretheren were thinking: "Can't we pretend it's 1977 and not let this brother in?"
