April Fool's Day

Something to think about....
As I was planning nefarious schemes today to enact on people, it became clear to me the amount of commitment, the amount of planning required was enormous. It was almost unbearable and the satisfaction you would get of lying to someone's face and getting away with it, was drained by the constant need of awareness to exactly what your next move was.
Since when did april fool's day get so complicated? As a child a simple fart on you, whoopee cushion you, gunk in the hair; All these things could have sufficed as a prank but now that we've grown everything is so psychological. How can we fuck with your head the most in this day and make your believe it is our goal more than how can we humiliate you in a small funny way. What does that say about us as a rising generation of adults? 
Just some food for thought.

i dunno, i think it really just depends on how you go about the prank itself. i mean take for example binghamton's school paper had ppl going crazy about the fact britney spears is speaking at our commencement until people realized the day was april fools day and it made everyone feel very stupid. i find that to be a efficient and non evil joke which is very befitting of the day itself.
