| April Fool’s Day Inspiration: Fake Parking Tickets | | 2008-04-09 05:03:01 | | Too bad April Fool’s Day is all over - but maybe something to keep in mind for next year.
Our fake parking tickets are truly hilarious! Slap one on the windshield of rude parkers, co-workers, neighbors or who ever and they will think they received a real parking ticket until they read the offense. These are [...] | | By: Random Good Stuff | | |
| | Penguins April Fool, BBC... ¿Pingüinos voladores? | | 2008-04-08 08:12:00 | | Llevo intenado querer hablar de esta acción hace algunos días. Se trata de la excelente idea de la BBC para la promoción de su nuevo canal on-line BBC iPlayer dentro del marco del April Fool Day, que recoge muy bien Publikda y también LasBlogenpunto.Pero, ¿Por qué la idea es tan buena?- Es una historia... Una "verdadera" (Verosímil, o por lo menos creíble) historia.- La pieza de comunicación resume a la perfección el valor del servicio publicitado.. y guarda relación con éste, "Historias inolvidables... ahora on-line". No necesita hablar racionalmente de cuales son, sino, que un buen ejemplo de lo que se puede encontrar allí el usuario es la mejor solución.- Se juega a la perfección el lado emocional... "Milagros de la evolución", jugando con el esfuerzo, la superación, de además, unos animales que parten de una connotación más torpe y que ya han protagonizado momentos, eventos o películas (Happy Feet) con una gran carga emocional.- La producción es de gran calida | | By: Pasion por el Marketing | | |

| Hillary Clinton's April Fool's Day Joke | | 2008-04-02 07:19:24 | | We were watching TV early this evening and my husband, I guess, did not realize that today is April fool’s Day. So when he heard Hillary challenging Barrack Obama to a bowling match, he said "there she is again, what is she doing?" Oh, that was funny...LOL. She got us that time...LOL. I didn't realize it either, that it was April Fool's Day today, so it also kind of astonished me in a way, and | | By: Simply Me | | |
| | Recopilación de bromas del April Fool's Day | | 2008-04-02 03:51:00 | | Vaya, vaya, vaya... ayer fue un día muy movidito por el ambiente de webs anglosajonas y es que como cada año, el April Fool's Day da para mucho con multitud de bromas, bulos y algún que otro fake bastante currado. He de confesar que este año me he saturado de tanta bromita llegando casi a desconfiar de lo que iva leyendo en webs como ign, gamespot, ThinGeek, etc, así que he pensado en hacer una recopilación de los bulos que más gracia me han hecho y como veréis, hay un par de ellos y en especial un vídeo que se va a coronar como la obra maestra de los fakes. Así pues, veamos cómo se divirtieron ayer en la comunidad anglosajona...1 - El proyecto VirgleTenía que pasarme por el blog oficial de Google porque esta gente son unos cachondos y no hay año que aprovechen el April Fool's Day para liarla. Y desde luego no defraudaron, porque la noticia que me encontré, lejos de parecer una burrada, incluso sonaba bien...

| | April Fool’s Day – I’ve Behaved – Really I Have? | | 2008-04-01 22:53:00 | | TUESDAY, APRIL 1I’ve not pulled off a primo April Fool’s Day event in ages. Maybe the problem is the fact that I peaked too soon. It’s hard to follow up on the prank my sister and I pulled when I was in the 4th grade. We went to elementary school in Seneca at Northside. (John Edwards went to Southside). The school was about 15 miles from our home in Fair Play. Our father’s business was in Cross Roads about 7 miles out of Seneca. There were times when our mother would be late picking us up after school. ... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |

| 1st April update - Not April Fool! | | 2008-04-01 18:17:00 | | So far, I am still enjoying the trill of blogging. There's been some delay in posting due to work. Its tough as i've just came back from reservist and during this transition, i have a new job offer! The money is there, so is the uncertainty and discomfort of coming out of my comfort zone. . . gosh!Anyway, that aside, 1.5 months has passed since i first started posting and these are some of the "milestones" achieved:1. Stats count: 1250 visitors2. Adsense: $5.303. AdToll: $1.224. Hits4Pay: $10.605. IsbaelMarco: $1.26 (I have not clicked as much as i can.)6. Clicksense: $0.837. e-mailpaysu: $10.345Well, I have not really made any money online yet. I'll probably need to build on the content (more regular posting) and downline for the exchanges and PTC sites. Nevertheless, I'm glad to have achieve stats count of 1250 visitors and hope more visitors will leave their precious comments here.

| | Kia KEE_wii Concept with... (April) Fool Proof Wireless Driving System | | 2008-04-01 17:24:00 | | While most of us thought that we had seen the last of the poorly received KEE Concept Coupe that made its debut in Frankfurt last year, Kia announced today the introduction of a unique development of its Peter Schreyer-designed sports coupe concept - the KEE_wii. The latest upgrade to KEE involves the addition of high-tech drive system that removes the need for a steering wheel and pedalsFranz Josef-Hicks, head of the Advanced Propulsion Research Institute and Laboratory at Kia Motors New Zealand, explained; ‘We have taken inspiration from current computer gaming technology to create a completely new steering and pedal system called Dynamic On-Road Kinetics. The traditional driving controls are replaced by a small ‘controller’ which fits comfortably into two hands. Making steering motions with the small controller will turn the car in whichever direction the driver likes whilst accelerator and brakes are button operated. It is a very simple and intuitive system.’ added Mr Josef | | By: Car News | | |
| | Rapture screens. Legit or April fool? | | 2008-04-01 12:27:00 | | Rapture or April Fool? Inserito originariamente da Abriael Yesterday Allakhazam.com published some screens, claiming that they could be a sneak preview from the new Square-Enix MMORPG codenamed Rapture. The screenshots feature some quite blurry environment and a Viera and a black mage moogle, alnogside with a couple of chocobos. While some of the assets look definately similar to Final Fantasy XI (exoecially the textures and the chocobos), some seem quite different from what we've already seen. You can see the whole set here.While the period in which such pictures have been published (march the 31st) is definately fishy, we can't, at the moment, mark it as a surefire April Fool. Looks like we'll just have to wait and see until some official notice comes. If you want to read the discussion on them, and take part in the speculation you can visit the discussion thread in the Allakhazam's forums. | | By: Classy Gamer | | |
| | Best april fool EVER | | 2008-04-01 11:40:00 | | Looks like someone has a lot of free time on their hands. Above you can see a movie that has been unleashed on the net today, featuring Solid Snake dressed up as Assassin's Creed's Altair in an absolutely AWESOME looking battle. All jokes aside, if this movie is any indication on how battles in Metal Gear Solid 4 will look, then the game is going to totally rock: chaos, lead flying everywhere, people screaming in a wortex of awesomeness. I dig it. Totally. | | By: Classy Gamer | | |
| | Cuidadín, estamos en el April Fool's Day | | 2008-04-01 09:06:00 | | Tanto si ya estáis enterados como sino, os aviso que hoy, 1 de Abril, se celebra el April Fool's Day, que es el equivalente al Día de los Santos Inocentes que celebramos en España cada 28 de Diciembre, pero éste es en Inglaterra y sobretodo Estados Unidos. Así que si visitáis con regularidad webs de habla inglesa procedentes de estos sitios debéis ir con los ojos bien abiertos no vaya a ser que os la metan doblada ;-) Por lo general, webs como ThinkGeek suelen poner alguna que otra broma que por lo normal y según los últimos años, no son tomaduras de pelo muy curradas por lo que si no vais empenados seguro que no picáis.Desde luego, tanto el April Fool's Day o el Día de los Santos Inocentes se han expandido de forma bestial gracias a la presencia de Internet; además, algunas bromas han sido muy curradas y realmente creíbles, como las que hizo Meristation hace unos años. Curiosamente, otros países también tienen su propio día de las bromas, como Alemania con su Aprilsc | | By: Nautilus Loft | | |

| | April Fool! The Purpose of Pranks | | 2008-04-01 07:41:28 | | Mind : By BENEDICT CAREY
Keep it above the belt, stop short of total humiliation and, if possible, mix in some irony, some drama, maybe even a bogus call from the person’s old flame or new boss. A good prank, of course, involves good stagecraft. But it also requires emotional intuition.

| | Google's April Fool | | 2007-04-02 03:27:00 | | Here's to a great April Fool's Day joke by Google. The concept of Gmail Paper was heralded on the Gmail log in page. I wouldn't have even saw it if I hadn't logged onto a different computer to check my email tonight. The ludicrous nature of the service raised suspicion and then my suspicions were confirmed when I checked the file name of the image you see in this post: "ss_afj.jpg" (afj= April Fools Joke). I'll be smiling for the rest of the evening.Addendum:Apparently there was one other joke that Google had up its sleeve for April Fools. This one is Google TiSP beta. The joke is that you can get wireless internet in your house through the "toilet internet service provider." Heh. | | By: In Java, Literally... | | |
