April Foolishness: Not Us

SERIOUSLY, GIVE IT UP GOOGLE: NO ONE'S LAUGHING Idiocy Programming note: As you're no doubt aware, today is the first of April. Traditionally, it is a day for pranks and "gotcha" gimmicks, particularly on the Web, where every jackass blogger thinks that they're Ashton Kutcher with dial-up. While RadarOnline.com has done some fine April Fool's japery in the past (I mean, probably; I haven't really read that far back), the website is now under editorial management which believes that pulling a prank on April 1 is a lot like getting blottered on St. Patrick's Day: if you're not doing it every day, you're not really Irish. Which is to say that we will not be participating in April Fool's Day festivities here at Radaronline today. If you see something that seems particularly outrageous or hard to swallow, we probably just got it wrong. Thanks for understanding.
