I only like April fool's jokes when I'm the one pulling them... or when I know it's a joke. I'm suspicious of almost everything I hear on April 1st... when I can remember it's April 1st, that is  :S

Heh, yeah, that's the kicker. I've always had a hard time keeping track of even what day it is, let alone what date it is.

Oh, that, well I personally dislike them, and I also didnt apprecite the joke mango did around here either, but that's just me, I completly agree with storm about its kind of bad taste, personally I rather run PR issues in a different way so from my side I can tell you I wouldnt do things like that, as Neil says its different to surprise fans rather than to do those techniques :P

Kelly Osbourne!  :-\

QuoteIn advance of this year’s Cannes film festival Fine Line/Paramount have revealed that Oliver Stone , the king of the historical biopic, is going into pre-production with "Big Time Sensuality" a movie about Björk. After honing his talent on real life subjects such as Richard Nixon, Jim Morrison and Alexander the Great, Stone feels the time has come for him to tell the story of a major female character. " She is larger than life, a real Earth Mother. I want to show how she grew from being a despised little girl, a withering seedling, in the culturally starved Iceland of the 70's, to become the prettiest tree in the garden of modern music, " says Stone about Björk.

The film has been in development for the last four years or since the artist, who has praised Stone's work in the past, and the American director were introduced at Elton John's party after the 2001 Oscars - an event remembered for Björk's infamous swan-dress appearance. The screenplay is written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (the writer team behind Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" and Milos Forman's "Man on the Moon") and is reported to cover Bjork's career from the tender age of twelve, when she released her first album in gloomy Reykjavik, up to her above mentioned stunt on the red carpet.

A recent "Inside Hollywood" article claims that casting is well under way with Kelly Osborne hotly tipped for the lead role, leaving hopefuls Christina Ricci, Hilary Swank and Winona Ryder fuming in the wings. Especially Ms. Ryder who is a true fan of Bjork and gave a stuttering, starstruck introduction to the singers musical number at the 2001 Academy Awards Ceremony. Stone claims Björk and the rest of the "Big Time Sensuality" team agree that Osborne has the right aura of 'rebellion and individuality' for the role. "They were looking for someone who can sing as well as act," says a spokesman from Björk's American record company Atlantic/Elektra. And he goes on to say that Björk's commitment to the project is confirmed by the fact that for the first time in her career she is giving a rival musician an unlimited access to the master tapes of her songs: "Kelly will sing on top of the original songs. Bjork is stepping aside as a singer to concentrate on writing new music for the rest of the soundtrack".


Other acting talent that has signed up for "Big Time Sensuality" is eccentric director Spike Jonze in the role of Björk former band mate Einar Örn, David Morse and Debra Winger as her parents, Kirsten Dunst as P J. Harvey, and Danny de Vito as Lars von Trier.

hehehe those crazy webmasters  ;D

Our school comes out with a yearly April Fool's paper. The first year, I almost believed a couple of the stories until I saw the title was "Sideways" and the temperature had a high of 80 and a low of 80 degrees!

Let's see, this year, the Blur called me and said she had woken her bf up and told him she ran out of gas on the interstate on her way to work...about 45 min out of town and 30 min from him. And then she told me that I should call Erik and ask him if he could pick me up from the airport and a few minutes later, let him know it was April Fools...but I'not sure I'm going to do that. :P


EDIT: I was talked into it. lol...too funny! He was shocked beyond belief...and he didn't even realize it was April 1st until I said "what day is it?" Him, "friday". Me: "ok, what's the date?"...and there was a long pause before he figured it out. Yes, he laughed about it. And I'm officially done with my April Fools jokes :D

Unfortunately, I couldn't get online on Friday... Missed all the good pranks. Just like in previous years... it's getting to be a tradition - miss them, then show up the next day and rant about them :'(

I'm kinda disappointed though, I thought for sure AGDI would pull something with their QFG2VGA release, or even KQ9 with the upcoming update :-\
Maybe there's just enough room for one fan-gaming prank a year ;)
