The April Fool's web sites are
an all-year-round project: Coming up with the concepts, getting a web
design layout and then starting on the Images and the content. I
could do just One (1) web site a year, but that was so '05-'06.
For 2009 we processed 25 orders and received 10 inquiries for
information. The answer to the question is after
(18) Eighteen April
Fool's web sites; Can I still get the clueless, can I still make someone
think and question the validity of the idea and be unaware of the Date
(04/10)....The Answer is YES I Can!!!
I was also responsible for the April Fool's piece on the
Burning
Man web site which really drew quite a fire-storm. Please
enjoy all the comments, accolades and I Got YOU'S!!!!

Gerlach/Empire Nevada get assistance in
Securing Economic Stimulus Money |
|
With Billions of dollars floating around for
construction projects, the Burning Man Project has
teamed up with the cities of Gerlach & Empire Nevada to
stake their claim in the massive highway funds being
distributed by the US Government. Support is mounting in
the area for a 4 lane Toll Road Bypass for travelers
heading North of NV440. During the three week festival
season each August these towns are inundated with so
called 'Burners'. |
|
|
|
"They appear friendly enough on the
outside", says a long-time Gerlach resident. "But they
will piss in your yard if you do not keep an eye on
them." Sentiments like this from other area home owners
has this legislation on the fast-track. |
|
|
|
Currently NV440 winds its way thru the
streets of both Gerlach & Empire, the proposal is to
construct a bypass that will spare the locals from any
Burner intrusions. All vehicles will be required to pay
a $20 fee to get to the entrance of the Black Rock
Desert. Approx. $.69 of each toll collected will be
distributed amongst the locals to compensate for the
predicted 34% drop in local sales tax collections.
Alternate plans being considered allow for the creation
of a Business Loop Frontage Road so local establishments
like Bruno's and the Empire General store can remain in
business. |

Those are great,
Scotto, sign me up to the power grid,
that would be a
lot easier than running my own gennie in our camp.
|
|
|
|
Is there any way that extension cords could
be used on my Art car ?
|
|
|
|
I always get gas on my
hands when the genny needs refueling and this would take
the stink out of my evening cruises.
|
|
|
|
Excellent services
that all of these links provide.

You never fail to fool
on April 1! I love the stuff you posted, especially this
one! Hilarious! |
|
|
|
Best one so far (4
Lane Toll Road) |
|
|
|
Oh, so I can bring my
dog but not my cat? That's fair. I think we're lacking a
bit in equality here... Might want to round up the theme
camp leaders for that task. They tend to excel at cat
herding. |
|
|
|
Once Again Scotto, You
have outdone yourself.
I love to marvel at the detail and creativity you
infuse into your annual April 1 efforts.
I especially love the Larryvisit because it seems
so damn plausible.
By the way did you do the toll road article
yourself, or was that part of the SF crowd's
contribution? |

I was wondering what
the BM April Fool's joke was going to be this year. |
|
|
|
You burner you |
|
|
|
FUCK YEAH
........great work |
|
|
|
Nice one - let's see
how many you catch this year |
|
|
|
So, we have the
obvious spoof followed by the "oh my, that can't be --
BUT it is on the Burner website?!"
---- smooth.
Can you tell I read my posts from the latest
down? |
|
|
|
So you WILL be having
lots of fun today.
I wondered how that first one could be only ONE
page.... |
|
|
|
This is such funny
stuff, props to whoever made these sites |
|
|
|
This is great.
Who writes this stuff?
I particularly like the playapharm page
: - ) |
|
|
|
4 lane troll road,
more like it - you had me going there (I had a whole
tirade begun)... |
|
|
|
I put in a reservation
at the kennel because MY DOGS SURE GET TIRED !!!! |
|
|
|
Scotto! You've done it
again!
You've brought smiles to the masses! |
|
|
|
LOL! I wanna enter the
BRC Olympic Oral Sex event! :) |
|
|
|
Greetings Scotto, Nice
to see the fun continues for April 1 - hahahahaahahaha |
|
|
|
Damn I didn't know I
was expected to piss in their yards!?!?!? Guess I should
start doing that and maybe have to use my "Indian taco"
money for the toll. Yay!! If we make it even more
expensive to go to BM, it will finally be the elitist
group I can be proud of.
|
|
|
|
I think that the toll should be $1,000 in order to help
keep the "undesirables" out. It gets terribly crowded
and noisy at BRC. |
|
|
|
I think it should be
invite only. I mean, every year there are all these new
people who don't have a clue, and they really fuck with
my radically inclusive vibe. I mean, I'm all about
including everyone I know, but strangers scare me. |
|
|
|
Gotta love their
commitment to the April fools day! |
|
|
|
You hope its an April
Fools day joke anyways....it wouldn't surprise me any to
see a state reveal this today and expect it to be a
joke, and then in a few months when its actually a
reality it shocks people cuz they thought it was just a
joke and then they get pissed off for having to pay 20
bucks just to get to BRC...I know it would piss me off
|

Well, Black Rock
Resort LLP is actually required to build and maintain
these road expansions, if I read the Nevada state
assembly press release right. |
|
|
|
Here's more info on
the soon to be built resort. Honestly sounds exciting...
