I think it illustrates my point of generally being poor in conception and execution. I just think this April 1st thing does not work. It's just sad that the Guardian can't produce something with a bit more wit and intelligence.
It's not stupid per se, just, well, rubbish

It's just really really crap. I wonder how much thought and effort went into it?

0.0000000000000000000000000000001% of the combined intelligence of the entire Guardian journalism staff.
The BBC managed to be ... mildy...amusing...
Poor ickle Rover 
It's like so many things that were originally really childrens' things. But somewhere along the line 'adults' hi-jacked it and go to all sorts of lengths to try and come up with things that are supposed to be more and more witty and wittily sophisticated, but usually end up being just so much nonsense and silly, if not puerile.....and sometimes more infantile than anythingt the children come-up with!
Sorry Ducky, I didn't click on it myself, so I refuse to read your post!

Believe me, the kids aren't that great at it either Fluffs.
I was just glad it fell in the holidays this year...and I didn't have to spend the whole morning trying not to look at my feet as 500 kids told me my non existent shoe laces were undone.

I'm of the opinion that they've probably been working on it since 2nd April 2012!

Ah....How many times have you heard that one? Did you ever fall for it?

Not that particular one... but it gets worse....cos they also just randomly point at stuff and say "look", and if you happen to look, suddenly it's "April Fool" and the most hilarious thing that's ever happened in the whole world ever. Huh, what, how?

Can you hand out detention?
Now that would be funny.
They would probably not turn up, and then claim they thought it was an April Fool. Slightly better excuse than normal.

Darn these pesky kids, they are just too clever
I watched that ^^^ this morning, bit carp isn't it
They don't really work nowadays, since there is enough stuff going on that seems like a spoof.
However I do remember being taken in by t'Grauniad's San Serif April fool many years ago.
