April Fools’ Day news
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008In Japan, most of schools and companies commence their new year on April 1st. So the Japanese often make a clean start and get a little serious on the day. Partially because of that, many Japanese don’t recall that the day is April Fools’ Day.
But in other countries, especially the United States, there seems more strong tendency that lots of companies publish their own April Fools’ Day news on the Internet and people play them on friends and colleagues. For example, some of them compete with one another and give rank to those jokes on the Internet.
Some Google’ hoaxes sound very funny, and I wonder if they really enjoy and only half believe those. I write down a link on Wikipedia which I referred to.
