April Fools 2010

Postby Keab42 » 01 Apr 2010, 01:57

Document the best ones you've found here.

I'll go first with Google's annual offering, this year Google Animal Translate

XKCD deserves a mention as well. That is an impressive site change.

oh no they didn't. you don't know enough people, it's much, much worse.

Being assigned randomly to team gaga is so much more bearable than some people I know, who got jacob and edward, uhhg.

Speak for yourself. The bastards changed my avatar to a picture of a transvestite and made my signature say "I want you leather studded kiss in the sand" followed by a pair of lips.

Ha, yes. Why must they take things so seriously.

As an aside, I like how much work dA put into this year's April Fools. Last year they just changed everyone's avatars to the mudkips thing, but this year there's actual variation, and signature changes. Bravo, dA, you strange strange people.

No one here is raging over the DA thing. It's hilarious. I can't believe I got stuck with Jacob. I even woke Wraith up to show him. He giggled and went back to sleep.

Also, last night (or early morning ) on Adult Swim, they were playing HIGHLY censored porn. Black boxes almost to the point you could only see the tops of their heads.. it was pretty funny.

I got Gaga on my DA, although from people I know the only ones they've gotten so far are Gaga and Jacob... Are there any Edwards?

I got Seeker. :(

And my sig is fricking embarrassing.

deviantART decided to be annoying and wrote:This is Richard Cypher. :flame:

He uses his big sword to defeat evil doers for a living.

'Legend of the Seeker' for the WIN!

It is funny though. :D

I don't know if anyone here follows them, but the Psych Writer's twitter has become the Mentalist. Which I found funny.

I must admit, the idea of CERN installing a small hadron collider on the London Underground was a pretty awesome idea!
