April Gags

Here's a thread to post all the interesting April Fools stuff you've come across, first and foremost (because I saw this very first thing this morning and almost fell for it for half a second before remembering what day it was):

Haha that's fantastic!  The first paragraph seems perfectly reasonable actually, it's after that where things get a little crazy.

[Enchantermon]

Yeah, the trailer's pretty funny, too.
Also, go to Wikipedia and check the In the News section.

Heh. Youtube has a pretty sweet 1911 button on its videos.

I want The Aurors to be real!!

[Enchantermon]

Aaaaand this.

I want The Aurors to be real!!

You know, it actually sounds like it might not be such a bad idea. It would probably get horribly destroyed, though, if it were actually made.

I want The Aurors to be real!!

I do too - that's actually a really good idea for a tv series even if it is a joke.

Today the informative message that pops up right above my Gmail inbox, alerting you of new features and such, reads: Coming soon: Better ads in Gmail. It also links you to this page. I'm.....not sure if this is a joke or not.

Oh, and IA finally spoke out as to why it's taking so long for the SQII remake to be released.

IGN's April Fool's jokes are always good. Professional, and get your hopes up sometimes. Like the Legend of Zelda movie trailer and The Aurors. Speaking of which, I want the Aurors too.

It really is. And a goldmine in the making, dude.

Or I want it to be an RPG a friend of mine decides to run, so I can play it

Hm?

[KatieHal]

Haha! Go to youtube and on the bar where play and the video timer bar are, etc, at the end hit the button that says "1911", Cez. Fun!

Somebody must be double playing me on this April Fool's gag, cause I don't see anything!

On the other hand, has anyone checked people you may know in linkedin? Hillarious.

[Cez]

lol, I just sent the HP video to my cousin (who's the biggest fan in the world) and he started jumping up and down all excited.

He's not talking to me now.

lol

[KatieHal]

Cez--here, this one has the option for it.

Yeah, not working. But I googled it and saw it.

Must be because I'm in Canadia.

I just joined LinkedIn and I don't know my way around...where can I go to find this?

[snabbott]

At least for me, I clicked Home, and the People You May Know was on the top right.
