someone used an April Fools Day prank as publicity for the Stawell Gift (a running race that occurs on Easter Sunday)

Anyway the prank was the report that Chris Judd, (an afl star, plays for Carlton) would be running in the race off a 9 metre handicap. this was false as Chris is not in the event.

apparently loads of reporters fell for this and someone even ran a talkbalk radio station in a rage about Chris' 9metre handicap.

A few years ago Deviantart changed everyone's avatars to Mudkips (pokemon) with that saying,"so I herd you liek Mudkips". The meme of the day I guess. Anyway, I always forget and fall for April FOols tricks.

I just checked the site. Two words: Team Seeker

Lucky you. I got Team Jacob. Someone is going to pay dearly for desecrating my formerly Twilight-free DA account, April Fools be damned.

One of my aspie friends got hurt. Her aspie bf came back to her and pretended to take her back and she spilled everything out to him and he was crying because he felt bad what he put her through. He gave her a plane ticket so she can go see him and she looked at it and saw lot of errors and saw he did a AF trick on her. She was upset once again. Low blow of him. I am not sure to think if it was the AS or him being a jerk. He hurt her once before by dumping her and falsely accusing her and manipulated her and now again.


One of my autistic friends pulled a joke on me last year. He told me he finally went to jail and we were talking about it and then I realized he had told me this same story the year before and the fact he said something and it gave it away that it was a prank. So I asked him if it was a AF joke and he told me it was. The first time he told me this story, I fell for it and he went "April Fools."
