I wasn't really planning
something like this but some stuff came up yesterday that really
bothered me. As many of you know yesterday was april fools day. For
some it's a day to play jokes on their friends and family. Lately
become a place people can play jokes to whole internet. Sometimes funny
and sometimes they can just be really cruel. To me april fools day was
a day in school that I hated. Being the kid that was bullied in school
they would use it to play pranks and all kinds crap on me.
So this year I wasn't really looking forward to another one as
still people I know like to play jokes or even internet ones. To my
surprise on saturday I find tom and toonami on adult swim in a april
fools prank pulled by Adult Swim/Cartoon Network. Seems they do one
every year decide to bring Toonami back for day for this years. So you
get Bleach but after it Gundam Wing, DBZ, Tenchi Muyo OVA, Big O. Yu Yu
Hakusho, Trigun, Sub Marine No 6, Astro Boy, Gignator. A better lineup
then that is on any day on Cartoon Network or Adult Swim any day. To
any old fan of toonami who didn't realize this was one day thing it is
pretty cruel to get there hopes up. Yeah it was great that it was but
still not funny to fans who missed it because was advertised or to
fooled into believing this was something that would happen ever week.
Another example is there is a story from 2009 about signal from
Doctor Who episodes returning from space. Except it was posted april 1,
2009. April fools. With 106 episodes (missing 108 at the time) it is
cruel to anyone who sees the story not realizing it was posted 4/1/09.
Then there is story yesterday about DC doing a new Spoiler series
funded by kick starter. Yeah that is not funny as fans actually really
have come to like Stephanie Brown and people want to see her comic
again. We know it is april fools joke even before reading story because
DC keeps saying there are no plans for her over and over again! Why?
Because there idiots who despite no buying the books with think people
want to see OMAC, Batwing, Frankstein, I, Vampire, and other stuff not
selling. It is not funny to play a joke like this on someone who didn't
convention reports from day before.
People may think it is funny to play jokes on people and
sometimes it is. April fools jokes can be taken to far and this was
just some examples off to of my head. There have been more of them and
even more crueler then these.
