I can't stand April Fool's day. I think it's so pointless. I still haven't visited a certain website since they made a real low-blow joke about Tales of Graces.
I'm with you, it's a very stupid "holiday". I'm OK with really obvious fun stuff - Google lets you play Pac-Man on Google Maps, sure, that's cool. The Dying Light devs made the physics in the game exaggerated for today only - again, fun. But trying to "fool" anyone to believe a lie is actual news, especially if you're a website that one would think would like to engender some kind of trust with your audience? That's just stupid IMHO.
But what was the Graces thing? I don't remember coming across that one in the past.
