I am not a big holiday guy. Yes I believe each and every holiday is a wicked scheme designed by Hallmark to extort more money out of me. April first is an especially loathsome “holiday”.

First of all April Fools Day or All Fools Day is the quintessential waste of my time. All the tech news will be useless and you can’t trust any commentary you read. Everyone is trying to get one over on someone.

That isn’t the worst of it though. Since everyone is expecting everyone else to act like a fool on April first, people are starting to unleash their ridiculous schemes on March 31st instead. Because of course we are not intelligent enough to realize that tomorrow is April first and they are springing the pranks early.

What seems really sad is that the pranks have gotten to be so outlandish that they don’t really seem to fool us anymore. It turns out that they are so bad in fact that it reflects on how uncreative the person is who is attempting to convince you that their prank is real.

Maybe next year I will just begin posting wanted posters on flickr for all the uncreative unimaginative people that attempt to convince me that their ridiculous pranks are real.
