Like many people here I'm straddling the two contradictory opinions that Google's April Fool's schtick isn't funny, yet humor is how human beings cope with crisis and those who would ask you to be serious and pious are making it worse.


I see no contradiction. Their AF 'jokes' aren't funny. Maybe if they were, we wouldn't have so many people celebrating the cancellation.

Besides, there's a big difference between a friend emailing you a joke and one of the world's biggest mega-corporations putting a gag on their front page.
