I Love April Fools Day...

Isn't April Fools day fun? Besides the fact that Cooper's keeps telling people that they have a spider on their head and then asking, "Did you believe me?" --- Only to be followed by Rylee saying, "Spyyderrr. Funnnnnny" while laughing and Madi trying to make up jokes as well

I actually like seeing what fun things actual companies do with their websites.

  • There was some company out there that created a website called Smellr where it claimed that you could smell the products or something like that. It had a lot of perfume pages with a lot of people that I didn't know.
  • YouTube was promoting a new way to view your videos and said something along the lines of turning your computer upside down or "Moving to Australia!" By the way they are right. The videos look so much different down here! Oh wait, maybe that's just Australian made TV shows. (Did I write that out loud?)
  • Google promoted a new "Auto Pilot" email response program that would automatically respond to your emails. In the question and answer section there one that went something like this, "Q: What if both people have the auto pilot turned on? A: Emails will automatically be sent back and forth allow each persons email to have a great conversation with the other. We must warn you though that after about 3 email responses back and forth the quality of the emails start to deteriorate significantly." That made me laugh!
  • My favorite was at Expedia.com where they were offering $3 Billion dollars off an exclusive trip to Mars, making the trip only $99 for the day. You could even choose which type of space ship you wanted to fly in (Classic, Retro, etc.). After attempting to book the trip it came back with a message saying that "due to the popularity of this route the rocket is full and we will not be able to accommodate you" but then they continued to offer you a $25 discount code for being such a good sport!

What a fun day! I am glad that some companies have a sense of humor!!!!
