Deviant Art pulled shenanigans with their user icons and some parts of the interface to make it look like the account had been hacked - by someone who liked TWILIGHT of all things. Since one of the places I last checked my account was at school and since I am often in a panic about accidentally leaving myself logged in from somewhere like the school Mac lab, my first thought was "Oh SHIT I've been boarded!" Then when I tried to fix the error and see what else was borked or corrupted, I couldn't. They'd futzed with the user interface. If this was just a goof site, that's one thing, but this is the site where I have been directing potential clients so they could check out my portfolio. I use it for professional purposes, so having an extremely unprofessional "Team Jacob" user icon was just NOT amusing to me at all. But other sites have done similar things today and other days.
Though I'm boycotting April Fools simply because Loki hangs out at my house far too often as it is (he likes my daughter. Claims "professional interest" when I ask him why and refuses further answer, which, honestly? SCARES me.) and I don't want to encourage him to drop by for tea any more than he already does.
But seriously. I dislike mean. I discourage mean with a two by four when necessary.
There's a fake pregnancy announcement on my facebook page. I'm trying to decide how to deal with it. I'm disgusted, and as the person who did it isn't someone I'm close to at all, and sort of have issues with anyway, I think I'll probably delete her.
I totally agree. BLEAH. Seriously. FB has been running amok with all the fake divorces, fake pregnancies, fake intercity moves, fake tragedies and just rampant asshattery....

I don't think *any* of that shit is funny. At all. Even a little.
