| Even if Autism Speaks as an orgnisation were to be disbanded it would have no bearing of the ignorant mentality of some. |

HAIL Alex....
I can imagined lol throwing water in the corporate crony face.
I melting.... melting... all of the corporate world.

Ok. I am getting some argument here. Is Autism Speaks really getting bought out or it his a bad journalism writing?
Me and my other friend agreed to give this until 10am tommorow. Not that I am doubting, it just doesn't make any good for me to be ahead of this.

| First off, in the USA, today is considered April Fools Day. To our outside the USA friends, it is a day of playing jokes on other people. I do not think that Alex realized that April Fools is not celebrated around the world when he created that article. |

If it was April Fool, he should have put the freakin word "April Fool!" on the bottom. You alway to do that when pranking someone. APRIL FOOL! See what I mean? He didn't write it, it is so ironic that it on the first day of Autism Awareness.
He taking media and journalism, why waste his experience for this kind of joke? Put the "April Fools" if you are playing because you have to write more to prevent yourself being viewed as bad publicity.
I wished Alex get more proof out for us to read or write the "April Fool" chant if he pranking us. |

Ding, Dong Wrong Planet Wringing Autism Speaks neck topic
I love the puzzles piece icon. Michael Buckholtz's work? I love the red exclamation mark beside Alex's alien logo. Look closely. The alien is winking. 
I still think Alex paid too much ($80 million) for that crappy web site that muzzles Autistics. I hope our taxes will not go up. 
Yay, Autism Rex! 
This post number is almost a numerical palindrome: 1 312 231

But Alex... if you don't want bad publicity, just the write the "April Fool" in the bottom of your article.
Not everybody is familiar with Wikipedia and it take too much time to dig in to figure out if it a prank or not.
.... I know we sometime say bad humor. But.. for once if it were a good humor just simply write a APRIL FOOL disclaimer in the the bottom. |

You are taking it too literally.
#1, How does Alex have 80 million.
Plank thinks there is a lot that will happen in the coming years. "Who knows, maybe we'll even raise enough money to finally cure NTs."
Would he really say this if he bought Autism Speaks? |

It not literally, it is smart, wise, and you save your butt from getting sued by people for slandering and hoax.
I know website that host hoax and they get sued. Hoax without disclaimer that say it a hoax is wrong. |

April Fool is not protected by law.
If you prank someone, you are still liable to get sued.
All I am asking that you put April Fool in the bottom as a disclaimer.
Ask yourself this? Does news media ever does it without saying April Fool? A wild guess would be nice to hear. |
