Fools Around the Web

Well, April Fools Day has come and gone. Sure I was too lazy to think up a joke, but instead heres a summary of some of the jokes played by much bigger sites around the net. All provided by aprilfoolsdayontheweb.com. Just click the pictures to go to the sites themselves.

It seems that not many big sites are willing to outright trick their users for fear of pissing people off. Thats the case with YouTubes prank, upside down videos. Possibly some people thought that something had gone completely wrong, but most likely everyone just chuckled a bit and then went about trying to see if they could get them normal again.

Here's one of my favorites. God I wish that existed. The sorts of crazy situations that would get you in.

Oh man! I could probably go to the moon for $10 and a smile at these rates!

This one I don't know about. Really Facebook? Remember when I said big sites don't like to trick their users for fear of pissing them off? This is why. Even if it was always meant to be a joke, the fact that they have to say "No really! It was always a joke! Seriously!" pretty much means that the joke failed. Sorry Facebook, try again next year.

This one amuses me greatly. I can't wait to get out to the clubs and hear "Coffin on the Dancefloor" or crank up "Pussygrinder (Featuring Sheryl Crow)" in my car and sing along.

And there we go, some of my favorite April Fools jokes this year. Anyone else have any favorites?
