I hate April Fool's Day

Seriously...it pisses me off. April Fool's Day is nothing more than a cruel prankster's wet dream. Already I've been bombarded with various news ranging from George Bush dying to becoming world dictator, from Chrono Trigger being released on the Wii Virtual Console to a new Chrono series game, from Stephen Colbert--the character--turning gay to Richard Simmons turning straight, and all sorts of other crazy crap

So stop it, pranksters. This stuff just isn't funny. It's cruel, obscene, and idiotic. I hate April Fool's Day...I really do.

It only pisses you off because you aren't a good enough prankster yourself. Or you could just be insanely gullible.
I personally love it. Last year I rigged the doors with those little paper packets that explode when you hit them against something. Hilarity ensued.

Did you know that the Gilmore Girls have turned lesbian with each other? And that Kiefer Sutherland and Chuck Norris are now dating?

That's incest at its hottest.

First rule about April´s 1st? Dont trust anything on April´s 1st.

Sorry man, but you have to be quite stupid to believe in anything today, even if its true. Dont even believe in the truth today. Dont believe in me too.

I'm horrible at jokes, yes, but I can see through April Fool's Day jokes quite easily. They're just cruel for the most part. If you're going to make a joke, at least make it funny, and don't rely on one day to do it in.

Damn, that would make things so much easier.

But, of course, stuff from clocks to rockets would stop working properly.

This one just sucks more than the others.

There are some good jokes flying about. A good April Fools joke is more elaborate than a "common" joke. Nationdates and the National Security thingie a couple of years ago made me smile :D And Googles was funny and well made.

I like the day, but it can be overdone, it's true...

There's definitely that...I don't know how many different April Fool's Day jokes I've had to wade through just to access the sites I normally go to everyday...it's incredibly frustrating.

Since you apparently get around the Internet...I could not find an April Fool's joke in The Onion today. Any idea where it might be?

You should. It's just as satirical as NationStates General, but intentionally so. :)

meh.. I don't hate it, but wouldn't miss it. hell I didn't even think about it being fools day until I checked wowwiki last night and seen they had changed it to meowwiki and had everything related to kitty cats. I then forgot about it again, visited here and seen the Bush dead thread title .. but then I read it hehe

Not as good as I had hoped. due to a lack of helpers this year, I had to tone back my traditional April Fools prank. Still, if you are in western Connecticut, be on the lookout for glow in the dark mice. :)

It was there when I got there. I just took advantage. ;)

Nah. I just raided some pet stores and bought all the snake food I could get my hands on, decorated them with glow in the dark body paint and dropped them off around town in small batches. :)

If AFD was the worst thing in the world, I think we could all agree to celebrate it every day :fluffle:
