Just… stop already

Yes, it’s the 1st of April. This means the internet is full of people trying to be funny with over the top stories about how Microsoft has just purchased Apple and discontinued OSX, or how Google has decided to be evil, and has inked a deal with Satan. Guys… stop. Stop hurting humor. I mean, really. Stop. The point of April Fools Day is to trick someone into thinking something is true – usually involving some degree of personal embarrassment. What the internet does… is sad. So stop. Stop hurting America, er… humor.
