April Fools Day on the Web (2004)

[Mr. Jinx]

So far, I've only seen one that has been fairly obvious:

4. The Yahoo Front Page

has a banner ad right above the headlines. When I went there this morning, it featured an image of a newspaper with a headline saying North and South Dakota were going to merge and become simply "Dakota".

Only saw it on the first visit -- it was not shown on subsequent returns.

And, for anyone who hasn't it, the best site on large, historical April Fool's Day jokes is here.

9. Is it an April Fools joke, or do they actually report positive Kerry

stories?

I didn't get a great look but, aside from the obvious 4/1 news story, they actually seemed to report fairly on both candidates, and they do have merchandise for both candidates.

Or did I just get that wrong? Will have to look later.

10. Not Sure

They seem relatively neutral. However there is a lot of anti-Bush merchandise and their coverage of the Dems seems more balanced than that of the gop (refuse to capitalize on principle)

6. Hmmm - you be the judge
