April Fool’s Shenanigans - Favorites

By DeaconBlade • April 1, 2008

I must say that a day like this is always filled with foolery.  I mean it’s called April Fool’s Day for a reason.  I figured I’d list what my favorite little prank on this day has been.  Fancy a new Xbox 360 Wireless Helmet?  Or perhaps a new Xbox 360 Recon Edition?

Microsoft Xbox New Spring Offerings

I laughed pretty hard on this one especially given the fact that some people actually believe this kind of stuff on this day.  What have you seen that’s a pretty good April Fool’s Day prank?  (yes I’ve seen the IGN Zelda movie)

    Wow, I’d so get the Xbox360 wireless helmet!

    One of the funniest non-gaming pranks I’ve seen is Burger King’s “Left-handed Whopper”. Seems that BK put a full-page ad out stating they’d created a whopper for lefties, which had the same ingredients as a normal whopper, but with them turned 180 degrees! BK had to print a follow-up, since so many people went into stores requesting one! see http://find.msn.com/search.aspx?q=The+Left+Handed+Whopper&c=0317+The+Left+Handed+Whopper&form=MSNHAL for more

    The other food related hoax that killed me was the “Taco Liberty Bell” hoax of 1996. See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taco_Liberty_Bell The funniest line was from the White House who announced, in followup, “that the Lincoln Memorial had also been sold. and that it would now be known as the Ford Lincoln Mercury Memorial” LOL!!!!

    Wow Deac, sounds like you’re having a “Spaceballs” flashback, eh? “All stand for Dark Helmet”

    Perhaps the gents from AO2 are Dark Helmets son’s gone bad??

    I would have paid a million space bucks for that helmet, the g/f would have found me sooo freakin sexy in that thing (after I painted it black of course) :(

    recon edition would have been cool, if it had been true, with Jeep casing. That would’ve been sweet looking imo. but the joke was kind of lame overall.
