Personally I think April Fools jokes on the internet have been getting out of hand for years now. Every man and his dog is putting out more and more ridiculous and inane “jokes”, each one raising the bar on its ridiculousness, trying to out-do the previous year.

I’m all for the occasional innocent joke here and there, but it’s come to the point for me to basically avoid any news sites and press release on the 1st and 2nd of April (I’m in Australia, so it takes a while for the US to catch up wrt time zones) because I know it’s just going to be some lame-ass attempt at humour. It’s 48 hours of me rolling my eyes, counting down the hours until people get this stupid thing out of their system.
