Playing Mean Jokes

I hate April Fool's Day. Who in the world ever thought it was a good idea to designate a specific day to humiliate other people for your own amusement?

In between the tee-peeing of cars, tin-foiling of coworker cubicles, and cruel, unfunny pranks, I couldn't find time to write. Mostly because I was having the most AMAZINGLY SUCKY DAY EVER. I hope for the sanity of my readers that your day wasn't as horribly tragic as mine was yesterday.

Anyway, I wanted to highlight some online April Fool's jokes that topped the list in my book.

(3) Candidate Deathmatch from ESPN: What better way to solve the Democratic nominee conundrum than to just have a good ol' fashioned winner takes all fight. Something tells me that Hillary wouldn't play very fair.

(2) Google's new option can send emails to the past: Using the all-too famous flux capacitor, Google has a new "Custom Time" function for emails. You can send emails to the past, and they will appear in chronological order as if you had sent them at an earlier time. That would be awesome if it were true. "But I sent you an email about that over a week ago!"

(1) The meanest of all pranks was from IGN. An exclusive trailer for the new Legend of Zelda movie. It was mean for two reasons: 1 - I love LOZ and have often dreamt of a company picking up the story for a Lord of the Rings/Star Wars/Harry Potter type epic movie and 2 - It was mean because my hopes were dashed when I watched the trailer and saw how extremely horrible the movie would be. I mean, it tops the chart of gayness. The gayest of gay. As gay as gay can get. The epitome of gayness. There is no word gay enough to describe the trailer. All I could think was, "Oh please God, let this be just a mean April Fool's Day joke. Or may you mercifully kill me right now." View for yourself the awesome gayness that is Zelda "The Movie":



Note to Self: If there were an actual LOZ movie, we need to cast someone who is extremely hot (Orlando Bloom) , someone who looks good wielding a sword or bow and arrow (Orlando Bloom), and someone who we already knows looks as un-gay as possible as an elf (Orlando Bloom).
