April Fools on the Internet

[Bando]

Post any good April Fools jokes you see here. And I mean good, no half assed attempts at humor, thank you very much.

Eh, kinda funny:

Of course, I think it would be a lot funnier if the didn't ANNOUNCE that it was an April Fool's joke right off the bat. Sheesh! Come on, people!

(my guess is their comments section forced them to do that, but still)

This is google's annual attempt: mail.google.com/mail/help/autopilot/index.html

The Voice redecorated The Hoya's office: blog.georgetownvoice.com/2009/04/01/happy-april-fools-day-hoya/

It's the only way they could get anybody to read their paper.

God, I hate the Voice.

Nice to see the Hoya folks take it so well:

Dear Voice,

You still publish a second-rate paper and come off like whiny brats. Call us when you can finish a year in the black. I won’t hold my breath waiting.

Sincerely,
Fiore Mastroianni




Arguing with you, Tom, is pointless.
What is important, though, is that Voice staffers have no business in The Hoya office like that. It is not public space and may contain important and/or staff-only information. Furthermore, by entering as those staffers did, they become suspects if anything is missing/broken in the office now.
The Hoya aspires to be a professional college paper. You, Tom, seem to be content with amateur hour and your weekly rag, suitable - as shown above - only for wrapping things (and lining bird cages).

it got taken down, what did it say boz?

It was a joke article saying that Obama had ordered GM and Chrysler to remove themselves from NASCAR.

The premise wasn't the most hilarious thing I've seen, but the quotes within the article were pretty good.

I enjoyed our voter authorization page. Kudos to anyone who can get all three (they are case sensitive).

Is the story that the President gave the Queen an iPod an April Fool's Day joke?

It is a joke, right? Please?

(I hope he didn't buy it off of craigslist at least.)

EDIT: OK, well I still think the iPod is pretty bad (please tell me it was not an American iPod), but credit where it's due -- The signed Hammerstein songbook was a nice gift, especially to Queen Elizabeth, for whom I understand it has a very personal meaning.

Not internet but PTI just tried to sell that the Calipari deal was off and Pitino was headed to UK.


The tried but it was easy to smell it out
