April Fools and the Internet
April 1st, 2007
Just a short gripe. I hate April Fools and the Internet. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the humour–it’s that the humour, after 10+ years, gets a little trite and overused. Every year I am reminded at how this functionally becomes (with the exception of stodgy traditional media) a day off, on which, if anything catastrophic did happen, we wouldn’t even believe it. A smart terrorist would strike on April Fools Day. If 9/11 had happened on 4/1/2001, it would have been October before we actually realized it wasn’t a hoax reporting job.
Still, gripes aside, the Pirate Bay did have a good fake blog post.
Looks like you and Jeff Pulver are of the same mind.
