I get it, it's April Fools' Day. I just received an email from RedBox about their "we now sell lunch meat" joke. Really... I appreciate the creativity and even chuckled a little, but I get enough crap in my inbox and don't want to unsubscribe from future emails just because the RedBox marketing department can't help themselves.<p>Sorry, had to vent. Rant is over now.
I don't agree, it's just one day in a year and as long as they don't take it overboard I find it a great laugh.
Besides if you're that annoyed by the email just send it to trash, it only takes a second.
And now we get meta-spam, spam about the spam i.e. this rant. I haven't seen any April Fools jokes on the front page of HN, the mods must be prepared for it. I suspect this page will go away soon as well.<p>It's one thing to put a joke up on a blog page, another thing entirely for it to come via email. I think most companies have more sense than that.
I was looking for this post. Well, more specifically one that was ranting against the April Fools influx on HN. Yup, we get it, today is the day we can all have a laugh and post hoaxes and jokes everywhere. Thankfully, it is just for one day. Tomorrow I do not need to read every piece of information with dubiety.
