Seriously, why does every journalist, blogger, columnist, etc. have to throw editorial judgment to the wind on the 1st of April and publish “funny” prank posts? Nothing I came across today merited as much as a snicker, but I got tons of e-mails and news tips today that were qualified with “I don’t think it’s an April Fool’s Day joke…”–and with more than one we never did find out for certain. It’s as if the internet isn’t full of lies the other 365 days of 2008.
Next year, I’m going to unplug from the Web for a day and go throw a pie at someone instead. Now that’s comedy!
