The Best of April Fool’s Day 2010
Hello Everyone!
Its that time of year again, the time for everyone to play merciless tricks on unsuspecting people and not feel bad about it! Here’s what we came up with from all of the tricks played online…
What do you do when you’re a teenage popstar and a mainstay on Twitter’s trending topics? Buy comedy site Funny Or Die, rename it “Bieber or Die,” and proclaim that “anything that’s not Bieber, dies” in a video that shows the singer might actually be somewhat self-aware of the absurdity of his popularity. Funny or Die is taking the joke all the way though, completely redesigning its site for the prank. Justin Bieber recently has been garnering a lot of attention and Aziz Ansari recently poked fun at his new song on the site
I logged into YouTube today and I think this is one of their best tricks to date. YouTube has gone old school today by announcing TEXTp, a text-only mode for the service. From their blog: “By replacing the images in the video with a series of letters and numbers, the videos are far less taxing on our system — and have the added benefit of promoting literacy!”
Google has always been known for going extreme on April Fool’s Day (just check out what they did with YouTube). “Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.”
When you first log onto deviantART you don’t really notice much change, unless of course you start looking at all the user avatars and notice that its taken a turn for the worse. Twilight and Lady Gaga avatars have replaced all the user avatars on the site. <3 <3 Team Jacob!
