    i'm a grumpy curmudgeon and don't like seeing eleventy bajillion different april fools threads; one for each website that does something funny and all posted as if the OP fell for it. so i'm going to post any good april fools pranks i see here so nobody can pretend to be fooled.

    so far i've seen:
    the google football
    upside-down youtube
    hollywood buys the pirate bay

    Rofl, that BMW one's awesome. I'm half-tempted to ring the phone number and find out more about the product from Dr. Noitt All. :hehe:

    I love the beeb's rip on Newcastle too, that's epic.

    BWM had their MTT one as a half page advert in the metro today as well, had me giggling on the train this morning. took me a couple of secs to work out what Uve.Vollenvorit@BMW.co.uk meant though. :)

    You could just mail them at uve.vollenvorit@bmw :p

    Quite dissapointed at the lack of entertaining April 1st pranks this year tbh.

    On a tech note, it seems Conficker has pulled one off by not activating as predicted.
