Michael and Janet Jackson have been named the most foolish Americans of 2004.

It's the second year in a row that Michael has taken the April Fools Day award. He won the award last year after dangling his baby son over the balcony of a Berlin hotel.

The Jacksons came out on top in a poll of 1,016 Americans carried out by New York-based public relations consultant Jeff Barge.

Of those who took part, 77% voted Michael Jackson to top the list, while his sister was second with 70%. In January she was involved in controversy after baring her breast during the half-time show at the Super Bowl.

Britney Spears was fourth in the poll with 69% of people saying her short-lived "marriage" to Jason Alexander in January was foolish.

President George W Bush was 10th.
