Festivus for the rest of us

This must be a practical joke of some kind,

Officials in Sydney, Australia, are planning an Easter festival around racing with hopes of creating a tourist draw to rival the Melbourne Cup, which packs Flemington racecourse each November.

The festival, which is tentatively named Festivus, would also include rugby and surfing events.

And no, the practical joke ISN'T that people would want to travel halfway around the world to watch rugby and surfing.
