- BeeArePro, on 04/01/2008, -7/+457The best one I've seen is actually on CNN. It's an article on Hilary Clinton and her campaign, and how they plan on going 'all the way'.
- Overcyn, on 04/01/2008, -4/+197i got rickrolled by youtube :(
- SantaClauz, on 04/01/2008, -11/+150Youtube's stunt was pretty *****' awesome as it is, whose gonna top it?
*Hopes that Maddox does something again* - cinder, on 04/01/2008, -6/+138Today renders the Internet useless. See you on April 2.
- salocepy, on 04/01/2008, -1/+89I wonder if The Onion will report on real news today.
- thailand1972, on 04/01/2008, -2/+83Not as good as Digg's April Fool where I couldn't post a comment! Oh wait..
- clesch, on 04/01/2008, -28/+106Honestly, Digg should add a "Bury as April's Fool" button just for today.
- Jektal, on 04/01/2008, -0/+63I want a "Bury as April's Fools" button which actually Diggs it
- Archaic1, on 04/01/2008, -2/+44I'd be happy with Maddox just updating his site for once, even if it wasn't a special April Fools update -_-
- killerstache, on 04/01/2008, -4/+38I like CollegeHumor's. It has a fake myspace of a girl whose dad bought her collegehumor.com.
- gorfdorf, on 04/01/2008, -1/+28Yeah, I'm pretty sure April 1, 2008 will be forever remembered as the Day of the Rickroll.
- Mistle, on 04/01/2008, -3/+29It seems April Fools has turned into one massive Rick Roll. All my friends are giving me links, and when they turn out to be a Rick Roll they're like, "April Fools!".
I'm just like, 'Dude, I get Rick Roll'd every second day. That's hardly an April Fools!" - thailand1972, on 04/01/2008, -1/+25The day RickRoll jumps the shark is the day the internet will start to feel fresh again.
- batTUrd, on 04/01/2008, -1/+20deviantART changed everyone's avatar to this: http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/herduliek.gif
- thailand1972, on 04/01/2008, -0/+18The comment system broke today - does that count?
- theaceoffire, on 04/01/2008, -1/+19This rick roll is my favorite so far (Muppet): http://www.viddler.com/explore/RickRoll/videos/2/
- NinjaPirateDude, on 04/01/2008, -0/+17the xkcd thing totally messed me up!
- peterjmag, on 04/01/2008, -4/+21Oh, what I would give to find out that her whole campaign has just been one elaborate ruse...
- chris9902, on 04/01/2008, -17/+32I hate this stupid day.
- AndrewDB, on 04/01/2008, -2/+15Firefox + Adblock + Adblock plus, you'll never see another ad again.
- mundus, on 05/15/2008, -3/+16Wikipedia's list is pretty awesome too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_1%2C_2008 - NyteStarNyne, on 04/01/2008, -0/+13The Clinton camp are good sports for playing along with this prank.
- thailand1972, on 04/01/2008, -1/+13But it brings out geek humour, and big corporates can use this day to show their "human" side! Oh.....ok, I see your point.
- ghm101, on 04/01/2008, -0/+11Why don't you drop him an email ;)
- MetalLizard, on 04/01/2008, -4/+15The YTMND website IS actually getting shut down. That is what makes it so damn funny.
- mrtracy, on 04/01/2008, -3/+14Seriously though.. I want to be a Virgle Pioneer...

Firefox + Adblock + Adblock plus, you'll never see another ad again. - greatgatsbyII, on 04/01/2008, -1/+8I want a digg as April fool button!!
- Asheis, on 04/01/2008, -4/+10Yeah, the youtube thing is classic. How many people have they rickrolled, even in the past hour or so?
Also, I didn't see anything for digg!! sad times. Being one of the top websites on the whole internet, they should do SOMETHING. Have they done anything in the past? I started browsing digg a couple of months after april. - Etchii, on 04/01/2008, -0/+5 there is a hilarious picture of a guy playing with his keyboard guitar hero style, scoring sick crits =P

www.isohunt.com - apache2, on 04/01/2008, -8/+12Come on dude, we can screw around 1 day out of the year, we deserve it!
- Metalcard, on 04/01/2008, -1/+5http://apps.myspace.com - This was listed as an April Fools, looks real to me.
- darkfyrern, on 04/01/2008, -1/+5www.fpsgod.com had a good one with cs getting shut down >
- inactive, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4Yeah that maddox is a lazy bastard when it comes to updating his site. "What?"
Oh well. That is true maddox style for you. - picsectionpleez, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4+1 You beat me to it. Maddox just loves emails doesn't he?
- TSSaloic, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4That is international, not just in the UK.
- HolyChimp, on 04/01/2008, -0/+4Don't need Adblock if you have Adblock Plus...
- greatgatsbyII, on 04/01/2008, -2/+6How about having all the stupid stories reach the front page..... oh wait....
- RobSaint, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3http://ilounge.com has a good April fools joke up on their site...
"iLounge sold to Apple, replaced by Hot News
Following its purchase and shutdown of pesky gossip site Think Secret, Apple today announced that it has acquired and replaced leading independent iPod and iPhone site iLounge.com with Hot News, an existing collection of suspiciously upbeat reviews penned by Apple's favorite writers. Based on preproduction testing conducted by Apple in January 2008, the new iLounge web site will be 4.3 times faster at publishing positive stories about Apple, and 2.5 times better at deleting iTunes bug reports filed by users." - Philbert, on 04/01/2008, -0/+3I dugg that for being a well done prank
