April Fools | Onelargeprawn

Google has made quite an effort with the April Fool’s Day gags this year. They have advertised positions for autocompleters and have shown you a day-in-the-life of one such passionate individual.

They have introduced a wholly new (and embarrassing) way to interact with Gmail, and have created an Android app to help you communicate with your pets. And they’ve even played a prank on typography snobs.

The most entertaining gag thus far has to be the one inspired by the eccentric fitness instructor, Richard Simmons. This exercise video is intended to help you remove flab and build muscle tone. For your fingers. Everybody, Chromercise!

If you have some across equally hilarious April Fool’s Day pranks, do let us know.

Cheating Man Busted on Google Street View

The internet, like a double-edged sword, is, erm, double-edged. It (the Internet not the sword) can be full of porn interesting articles to captivate just about anybody. With so much information seemingly available for free, the Internet can also lead to your humiliation and demise. A British man experienced such a demise when his adulterous ways got uncovered by none other than Google Street View.

The man’s wife was using Street View to snoop on a female friend’s home when she noticed her husband’s Range Rover parked outside another woman’s house. Her husband told her he was away “on business” but she recognized the blinged-out hubcaps on his Rover. The woman is understandably furious and has contacted her divorce lawyers.

Seems like a credible story no? The Sun thought so (and so did Fox News and CNET) but it was all a hoax perpetrated by this man, Idiot Forever. I tip my hat to you, sir.
