Serious? If so, I suck. I dont even know 10 people, let alone 10 people that would be interested in this.

Add "April Fools" to that mass text.

Problem solved.

You are a ####### Sureloss. I was just getting settled in to lurk through the rhetoric of the public funding debate this would have spiralled into.

I hope poopy Pinder twin diapers are thrown at you.

On a side note, I am duly impressed by the article that Sureloss crafted (or acquired?). It actually looks like legit journalism.

I'm also wondering whether something will pop up on the boringseanmonahan account.

9.5/10 because clearly some effort went into the phony article write up. Well done.

LOL it was an article for when the Red Wings announced their arena. Just edited the names and changed a few details to match the stuff discussed in the arena thread. Quick 2 minute edit job

To quote John Oliver:

Anyone who claims to be excited for April Fools' Day is probably a sociopath, because what they're really saying is, 'I cannot wait to hurt the people close to me,'" he said in the video, posted while his show is on break.

Oliver wants people to swear the day off with his No-Prank Pledge:

I solemnly swear that on this April Fools' Day, I will not post a fake engagement photo on Facebook like some kind of #######, nor will I perpetuate a celebrity death hoax, because that makes people sad. In fact, I will not play any practical jokes. And if I see someone planning a prank, I will say to them, "Hey, you're being a dick right now. Stop being a dick. Stop being a dick. Seriously, stop being a dick."

2 minutes job... Wow. Simple, but elegant.

I probably spent longer than that reading it. Good job.
