"Slashdot Design Changes for Wider Appeal
Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday March 31, @07:24PM
from the omg-i-heart-ponies-lol dept.
[ Slashdot.org ]
Our marketing department has done extensive research over the last 3 quarters and discovered that our audience is strangely disproportionately skewed towards males. Like, 98.3% males to be precise. To correct this oversight, we have decided to subtly tweak Slashdot's design and content to widen our appeal to these less active demographics. Don't worry! We'll still continue to serve our core audience, but we hope you'll work with us as we try to find a balance that will work for all."

Here's a list of all of today's internet fools. I saw it posted on Digg.

^ u sure the fruit with barcodes isnt real?
here in new zealnd instead of stickers most fruit now has barcodes printed on them with some magical ink that suposedly isnt harmful

no the barcodes are supposedly grown in the fruit, its obvious if you read the article that its a prank

Clickatell has a service that lets you send sms with custom headers. When you sign up you get some test credits which I could use to send about 10 sms.
Here's what I sent to my friends: "Congratulations, you have been selected as our user of the month (March), as a bonus your account has been credited with 500MTn. Thankyou for using mCel". And now to make it look totally legit, I sent it with word "mCel" instead of my number.
After about 30mins, I called eached one of them and asked how they spent their 500 bucks... lol. I got some funny reactions..

I like the newspaper story about 10 Downing Street (Prime Ministers official residence) changing the door colour from black to red.

The "penguin in the Thames" sounded quite funny too.

WHTs April Fool is just weird! All the forums are named after Harry Potter stuff.
Also one of their (male) mods decided he wants to "become a woman" and change his name - they're running a poll.

The worst one I heard so far was on the TV when some crappy presenter tried to convince someone they'd won £1000. That wasn't very funny at all.
