Favorite Fools

I like the subtle nature of most of the April Fool's jokes that I encountered yesterday: Clinton challenging Obama to a bowling match and George R. R. Martin decides to merge his two popular fiction series were two of the best.

My favorite, though, was the musical one. YouTube looked perfectly normal, yet every movie you clicked on the front page took you here. Notice the 6 million views? A lot of people bit on this one. Hell, I fell for it 3 times until I realized the "broken" link was intentional. So yes, my favorite fool of yesterday was me.

Go figure.
