Complete and totally ignore it.Just the same as any other.
i like it - usually almost forget until my husband or son tries something silly, but think it's fun - as long as everyone plays nice and no one gets hurt! :D
What's with the embedded Google-love in Treehugger posts? Seriously, I don't know any other blog site that throws pro-Google stuff when it's completely unrelated to something.
Does somebody at Treehugger hold a position at Google or something?
I'm not impressed with the AFD 'jokes' in treehugger, sadly. It wasn't always clear what was and what wasn't a joke - i'm gullible like that. It would be nice, for posterity, if someone went back to all the joke articles and added a line like "This was an April Fool's Day joke!" Really, three weeks from now, people are going to forget to check the date on some borderline-why-was-TH-posting-THIS-story?! feelings.
And for the gullible fools like me who fall for all of them and then get embarrassed! :*)
Yeah. We need to practice discretion and critical thought every day and should feel foolish the other 364 days when we accept baloney to be true only because we saw it on the internet.
