Gotta keep it on topic…you may have noticed I wasn’t posting yesterday. This was as I was too busy ‘laughing’ at all the ‘hilarous’ April Fool’s gags, and using quote marks in the ‘wrong’ places.

Here’s my favourites, but be warned…it was a lean April Fool’s this year.

5. The DS Phone

‘F’ for effort, ‘F’ for execution. Terrible in it’s simplicity. Witness the true horror here.

4. Wii Height

Dread to think if this wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. Nintendo would make it, we would buy it in our millions. Sad but true.

3. Google Mobile Brain Search

Now we’re cooking. Brilliantly realistic in it’s Googleness and privacy invasiveness. See how it works here, and download the insanely infectious ditty here! Now my ringtone for anyone I hate…hold on, I think you’re calling me!

2. Guardian newspaper killed, switches to Twitter

All you Tweetaholics wished this one were true! Yeah! The web taking down the system, disassembling the man’s construct, fighting the power! Then April 2nd came, and you tweeted about you sock choices again. And nobody cared.

1. Alpine Legend for XBox 360

Brilliant in execution, perfectly believable, and most importantly funny! Remember that? Being funny?

To think at least one videogame marketing executive watched this video and thought: “****, the boss is gonna be mad we didn’t come up with this one in last week’s ThoughtShower,” without a hint of sarcasm or irony makes it all worthwhile.
