I have to concur. It had me going for a good 2 minutes before I remembered it was Apr 1.

Figured it was it from the start, but it still is the 2nd funniest April fools joke I've seen today (The first being NationStates').

Has to be one of the better ones I've seen today. Here in Australia a radio program strung its listeners along telling them that their GPS units could be tracked by the police and they could work out when you had been speeding. People were on the verge of ripping out their GPS units, untill the show said "April Fools!"
The Australia ABC TV had some egg on there faces when they thought that they had an exclusive interview with David Beckham saying he was switching clubs, untill they found out the guy was a fraud!

Joke itself wasn't too funny, but all the people who inexplicably didn't get it made my day.

Also, I just realized that Neal put the old Xbox logo on the banner. Everyone knows the old emblem was decommissioned several years ago, the new logo is what's currently issued to everyone! Totally kills the immersion for me every time I see it now.

Also we only got the one type of color scheme, what's up with that?

Not to mention the fact that historically speaking April Fool's Day doesn't end for several more hours and the joke's already over for us, that's not right especially when we are paying for a complete joke.

I am disappoint.
