Do you like it?  
 
Do you tend to make a joke with other people? 
 
I for once don't like it. It's a day where i can't be certain of what i read or hear, since if it seems a bit over the top it probably is a lie.  
 
And you?

I like it and hate it. 

I enjoy being fooled by a good gag - but for every one of those there's a hundred bad and/or obvious ones to endure.
 
(ps: Kudos to Astras: absolutely nailed me with that Rick Flair bit before I even remembered the date)

It needs to be kicked up like 100 notches.

I always forget about it until I read a forum post under a thread about how steam will come to linux. If only it did.

I like some of the stuff companies do, changing a home page or shutting down for the day can be pretty funny. Google and Blizzard usually have pretty entertaining stuff.
 
User created stuff on the other hand can go die in a fiery fucking pit. Take the forums for example, April 1st just becomes an excuse to get away with shitty spam threads, none of which are funny or make me believe they are true for one minute because everyone is always to obvious.

I don't react negatively to being fooled. 
 
Eh it's a day to joke around, and if it's a genuinely good prank, then.. good on them . 
 
I been had. I just did a lot of kick-me signs back in the day.

I think the jokes users try to do are mostly lame, but I like it when sites do stuff to mess around.  They're better at being funny too.  Sometimes, the reactions are funny too.

I like the premise of April fools day, but pranksters need to step it up.

I like it.  Didn't care back in the day.  But when the interwebs starting really getting into it.  I started looking forward to the holiday.  Blizzard got me into it mostly.  When they are fooling us in-game.  Good times!
 
I make a good fool.

I hate it. I enjoy a good joke, but really, when new sources are reporting things that aren't the truth it gets up my ass a bit. I guess I could say that independent of the internet, I like the idea of April Fools. Mix in a bunch of news sites getting in on the act half-assedly and I just don't dig it.

I'm already sick of it and it's not even noon (EST).  Most I look at and say "meh" but the Rick Flair one had me going long enough to check the story and see if it was true.
