Such a loser. xD

Information you need to know to understand this story: I RP Kunsel from Crisis Core. Kunsel is basically the game's tutorial, and as such has no face. He's always in his SOLDIER uniform+helmet. So when I picked him up, I had to find him a PB.

I chose Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss.

Here's baby:

I changed my Facebook status to "Carly [last name] is pregnant." and 4 people, including my own mother, fell for it.

*tasteless*

Google's was more epic than last year's, imho. :D

[wasurenaikara]

xD Oh wow. How'd your mother take it?

And yeah, this year's was really funny. I only wish it'd been real. I'd want to use it! *pouts*

[cjblackwing]

Mom was like "... Spiritually pregnant?" and was just kinda stunned/confused for a while until my other friends finally got it.

... Yeah. Calendars are a good thing to look at every now and again, XD

I'd want it too... except the majority of my emails nowadays are from Facebook. XD;;;

[wasurenaikara]

Well at least she didn't wholeheartedly believe you. xD Mine might have. And ew, Facebook. *runs away from notifications*

I thought Gaia's was hilarious. I went around posting in threads with things like, "OmniDrink gave me laser beams for eyes and saved a litter of kittens from Godzilla. OmniDrink can make all your hopes and dreams come true. And also make you a ninja. Why do you resist your benevolent corporate overlords?"

[wasurenaikara]

Well that's because you're brilliant like that. x3;;;;; I just sort of, idk. I like it when April Fools jokes are subtle. And like five or ten minutes into the prank you're like... wait a minute.

Like last year's, with the exploding halo. That was great.

Whereas I was like, oh Gaia's being sponsored by fake drink. And I got all disappointed.

[chieira]

xD; Sad part? About a million people fell for it. The SF was flooded with threads flipping out over Gaia 'selling out.' Those are the threads I was posting in.

There were a few threads complaining that the joke wasn't as fun because it was too obvious, but the response was that people were freaking out enough with it BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS - any less so and the idiots would have been hanging themselves or something.

[wasurenaikara]

But--

But--

xD Good god, being bought out by a corporation is like the oldest trick in the book, and the product wasn't even remotely believable. I thought Gaia'd been really lazy planning/executing it, but I guess they just know their demographic.

I remember all the waaaaangst there was WAY back when, the April Fools when DeadJournal pretended to be bought out by Livejournal.

I still remember the wangsty emo kids (DJ had adopted LJ's default layout) crying in the comments OMG WHAT AM I GOING TO DO CHANGE IT BACK THE WHITE HURTS MY EYES.

Youtube turned all their videos upside down. Like... the whole page...

and their advice for fixing it? "Go to Australia- we all know they're upside down/backwards down there."

[wasurenaikara]

...xD That's amazing. Damn, I missed it.

[lordling]

I -- I used Google yesterday. Why didn't I notice it? 8|

Also: I don't play on Neopets nearly as much anymore, but I went there just to see what their April Fools joke was, and it was...

...

...terrible.

And yay for updating. 8)

[lordling]

Or, er, not yesterday. I guess it was actually the day before that, lmao.

[iluphone]

Tooooo lazy to log out. xD I'm sure the joke is still archived somewhere. Go find it~~~ It was really subtle. xD They advertised it with gmail like a normal link and I only clicked it by chance.

[sailorsanrio]

ffffff DAMN IT WHY I GOTTA BE ON HIATUS AND MISS THE MEME AT VALHALLA :|

However, I lol that Kunsel was Luke for a day. X3

[iluphone]

YOU CAN STILL COME PLAY BB~ Meme runs until Monday, whereupon we'll start a new one. /o/

And here, have a Luke icon since I haven't changed them back yet.

[sailorsanrio]

I-I probably will. Since I figure I'm going to have to extend my hiatus out til Wednesday to get ready for an exam on Tuesday. >: It SUCKS.
