Let the online games begin! It’s April Fools Day and the Internet is celebrating. A few of the pranks we’ve spotted this morning:
• Funny or Die becomes Bieber or Die. This is kinda genius. It will introduce Funny or Die to a whole new demo as young girls visit the site to see exclusive videos like “Bieber After the Dentist,” “Justin Bieber Screensaver,” and “Dramatic Bieber.” Warning: It also means he’ll be trending again on Twitter today.
• Google changes its name to Topeka. This is in response to the mayor of Topeka, Kan., unofficially changing his city’s name to Google for the month of March as a way to compete for a spot in Google’s Fiber for Communities program, which will bring experimental, ultra high-speed broadband networks to a small number of locations.
• ABC.com advertises exciting new shows like The Blind Sayid (pictured) and Grey’s Astronomy (funnier would have been if they said Defying Gravity was returning), as well as a crossover event in which All My Children‘s Erica Kane gets stranded with the Lost castaways.
What else is out there, PopWatchers?
(UPDATE: Joel McHale ‘hacking’ Ryan Seacrest’s Twitter and web site could be the winner.)

I like cheese.
I like chocolate milk.
I like turtles
I like chocolate turtles dipped in cheese
I’ll take Die, please.
If thats your choice maybe you are just that stupid to do it. *crosses fingers* JB FTW>
Sage advice from a Biebard.
Cool points for Justin Bieber – even though that was the most amount of time I’ve ever spent acknowledging his existence
Would have been more fitting as Funny or Bieber
I think I’m getting a crush on Justin Bieber! He’s so cute!! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! He’s allegedly 16 and hasn’t even hit puberty yet!!!

That’s pretty funny!
“Interchangable soulpatch and Gotee” LMAO!!!
that was pretty witty-my hubby has worked with them for almost a decade and even he thought this one was better than the air one a few years ago
Soylent purple….mmmm….
There are actually action figures similar to that out on the market. I have the librarian action figure (based on a real woman)–with shushing action. There’s a crazy cat lady figure, lunch lady figure, historical figures (like Shakespeare & Einstein), religious figures (Jesus & Moses), etc.
Pretty funny! I didn’t know they had such a good sense of humor in Organic-land.
how cool! thanks!
Cityview, an alt. weekly in Des Moines, Iowa, always puts out an April Fool’s edition and this year’s cover story involves Iowa legalizing brothels to help with budget problems

the harry potter fan site the-leaky-cauldron.org has redone its homepage to make it appear as though the website is now a glee fan site “the-gleeky-cauldron.org”
I saw that one bright and early this morning–it’s done very well. There’s even a whole description for GleekyCon in Lima, Ohio. Even though I know it isn’t real, I kinda want to go.
Did you see the video? The whole trailer for the Lima Ohio experience? HAH!
Yeah–Matress Land as a must-go destination! Snerk. Hey, it’s still 15 months away–could still happen.
They did a great job with this! It’s got a whole new look! Awesome Leaky gals and guys!!
A Dharma alarm clock

I want that clock!!!
I want it too! Why isn’t it this a reality?!
ABC would make a lot of money off of that.
http://www.sl-lost.com/2010/04/01/abc-to-run-v-countdown-clock-again-during-46-episode-of-lost/
ABC to re-air the V-promo in next weeks episode, and also plan to include a second clock for the local news.
There are no vowels on the gmail log-in page.
I saw that too.
This morning, I just happened to use my gmail account for the first time in a long while (I mostly use Yahoo), and the login page looked funny.
realityblurred.com has some funny things up too
OK, I saw this web marketing video that I think is an April Fool’s Day joke but I’m not sure. It seems totally ridiculous. Pretty funny either way!

This really worked! My geocities homesite now has 1.5 billion visitors!
Wow…geocites…that still exists?
collegehumor.com states that they are being investigated by the Feds for anti-American content. I seriously hope that’s a joke.
It is. If you had waited long enough, you’d see that the actual front page eventually pops up
Top HP site the Leaky Cauldron has become the Gleeky Cauldron and is putting on a conference called GleekyCon 2011. LOL. http://www.leakynews.com
A Glee joke! that rules!
Another huge HP site–Mugglenet.com, posted 3 articles that would make HP fans lose their sh*t if they were true:
http://mugglenet.com/
Wow! That’s going all out. Props to them.
A radio station in Syracuse (WNTQ) did its annual April 1 joke with a well done commercial (that wisely began airing yesterday) that pointed you to this site. People fell for it pretty hard. They had a lot of irate callers this morning wondering what cold-hearted physicians could do such a thing.

The picture that’s third from the right on the bottom of the page is a childhood picture of Ryan Seacrest.
Mugglenet.com is reporting Deathly Hallows is now 3 parts. Almost fooled me
Love Bieber or Die. So hilarious
Glamour.com has all their articles featuring pet stories, cure and funny
Ok, the article about sex at the vet and the one about what your mate thinks when you purr were hysterical!
*cute
“The Office” on NBC.com has been hacked.
Um not quite…
