I've always hated April Fool's Day. Right from the start - I hated getting tricked as a kid. I thought it was dumb.
I particularly hate April Fool's Day now as a journalist, because even with all the evidence you can gather, you ultimately have to trust people at their word, and can be severely fucked if they go back on it, and there is just one day in the year where you can not trust any motherfucker.
And I very much hate it in the internet age, because I have been tricked a number of times on April 2, when people on the other side of the world are still playing the fool, while the rest of us have moved on.
Who is more foolish - the fool, or the person being fooled? It's the fucking fool.
