The Internet Has Killed April Fools
It's hard to tell if the Wikipedia article on April Fools' Dayis itself an April Fools' prank. Tidbits of the ubiquitous holiday's history seem like jokes in and of themselves;""In France and Italy, children and adults traditionally tack paper fish on each other's back as a trick and shout "april fish!" in their local language ("poisson d'avril!" and "pesce d'aprile!" in French and Italian respectively)."And this brings me to my point; The Internet has killed April Fools. Back in the day you used to be able to tell your friends you were engaged, pregnant or had Cancer without them gushing all over your Facebook page or Twitter and immediately freaking out people who you didn't want to prank, like your family.
