Too Much Fooling

Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 2nd, 2008

My brief editorial in the wake of this year’s April Fool’s Day is that there was entirely too much fooling around.

None of the jokes were overly interesting or even intelligent. Most of the ones I read were downright stupid. Perhaps, a random few (e.g. the “Happy Valley Horror”?) were marginally funny.

By the end of the day, I was getting a pit in my stomach as I saw the tidal wave of bad jokes and lame attempts to truly try to fool people come ashore. I was sorry I posted any April Fool’s stories.

Most reporters actually wrote their news in all seriousness.

Take, for example, this photograph published on April 1st, in Louisiana. The accompanying story, first highlighted by The Anomalist, is written as fact, without any hint of fakery.

The above photo is nothing more than a Patterson-Gimlin frame cropped and reversed.

    Yeah. That is so stupid.

  2. Rappy responds:

    Wow…I must say, I feel pain for the home state in that. There is a point where fooling becomes too stupid to handle, and I am ashamed to even think someone made a cut and paste April Fool and presented it so seriously. I feel even more pain for those who have actually seen these so-called “April Fool” monkeys and black panthers around here, especially with the little jab that they only happen around April. Sad..just sad.

    I guess a gator must have gotten the poor creatures hand.

    Now that is a bad fake. It is so bad it looks like they cut the image out of a magazine with a pair of scissors and used kids glue to stick it on the photo.

    Really poor Photoshop skills :-(
