I'm trying to decide whether it's funny or whether it's insidious liberal propaganda.

The part about implying that the current government is anything other then perfect was pretty funny, even if it is propaganda.

Yeah, I got a funny feeling in my stomach. That warning came completely out of the blue. I didn't figure out that it's April Fool's Day until I saw this thread.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

This line should have tipped you off. What government in their right mind would come out and say "ignorance is strength"?

I mean, if people are dumb it makes the government stronger, but yeah... :-D

Everyone else obviously got this when they logged into Nation States. This is hilarious, well except for the children who ran and hid under their blankets waiting for the secret police to come for them. :D Good growth experience for them in any case.

Much better than last year when everyone's nation suddenly only had 5 million people. Some people were so touchy about that one.

Check the NSEconomy site. They pulled a 5,000,000 people joke this year.

Heh, I had plans for if they used that one again... *evil grin*

This was definitely a good one, and gave me quite a start when I first saw it.

Not being in the US I didn't notice the HomeLAND/WORLD bit, but I have already found 5 tv/radio April 1, jokes so I wasn't too panicked.

I might load it into some of my Servers, That would really freak the users out :D

Not Italian colture suits or on the bleeeding edge of fashion mind, but expensive nonetheless. Why else does the US government have such a large deficit?
