April Fools...

I hate April Fools Day... this year I know of a few really dumb pranks, one AMAZING prank, and one that makes me really upset. I'd like to share the amazing prank, and the one that makes me way upset.

Amazing prank:

DT is currently being knocked down, the last building of DT that is. Fliers were hung up and distributed all around campus that said that it would be imploded between 5-6 pm, Tuesday. We knew this was going to be quite the prank, that many people would be coming to watch. Luckily, we didn't have to go anywhere to see the crowd of almost 200 people that came to watch nothing, as this building of DT is right in front of our kitchen window. We pulled open the blinds and laughed to see how many people came. Like they would implode DT after they had already knocked half of it down with a wrecking ball. People are so dumb, they make me laugh so hard though.

Prank that makes me upset:

Some guy from my ward (we all assume) took a picture of this other guy in our ward and photo-shopped his head onto a picture of Paris Hilton. In this picture, Paris was wearing a bikini. This picture was then put on Facebook, with a group created and all of the victims friends invited to join. Also it was printed and put up on the doors of my building. They were all taken down before I woke up (I forgot to set my alarm last night) but I've heard about them. We all have suspicions of who did it, and although he claims he didn't do it... I have seen him photo-shop 2 other pictures of the same kid. All of my roommates and a bunch of other girls in my building and I are all really disappointed in the guys of our ward. I'm glad I don't know for certain who did it otherwise I would be incredibly disappointed in him.

April fools day is probably the dumbest "holiday" in the world. Things like DT being imploded are hilarious, but the other prank is one gone WAY too far.

I had to write this on here, I have to vent it somewhere.

Aunt Kathy forwarded me a story about an atheist who went before the judge complaining about all the hooply of his neighbors in the community preparing for Easter and Passover. His complaint was that there was no holiday for atheists. The Judge dismissed the case the the plaintiff was all upset. The judge then referred to the Bible where it says that it is a fool who thinks there is no God. And so April 1st is that special holiday for that type of fool. He then said something like, "Have a nice day and get out of my courtroom!" How's that for one good thing to come from the silly day???

Yes, that was pretty cruel. My personal feeling is that any form of "humor" which comes at the expense of another person or groups of people, isn't humorous at all. True unadulterated humor (the Lord's humor) doesn't tear any of his children down, rather it should build them up. Such humor does actually exist, even if we don't see it so previlantly in today's society.
