8. Agree - Today is not really the official April Fools day anyway

But a lot of people don't know that it was moved back this year.

10. I enjoy humor as much as anyone but when it is
connected to news it is not funny. This is just not the time. How would you like if I said the Pres. died today - at the end put on April Fool, I would not think it is funny and would not appreciate the info. Jokes should be at the lounge.

11. But every troll on the planet gets to laugh about radiation poisoning
and post lie after lie. Gee, isn't that just so funny.

REC'D, it's what the lounge is for.

14. Don't click on it - no one is forcing you to.
If you're that hung up on the news to the point where you can't take a joke, you need a break anyway.

I find April Fools day fucking annoying. Gee let's wake up to have someone tell you something shocking to find out it isn't true.
