It isn’t humorous. It isn’t cute. Your story about some asinine factor that is fully made up is dumb. And you need to really feel dangerous about your self for pushing it out into the ether. Sure, I get that we attempt to be a welcoming bunch right here at RideApart, however that is my one exception: April Fools’ “pranks.”
I hate them.
Over the many years I have been writing in regards to the trade, I’ve seen every little thing from producers. Pretend merchandise that would’ve been cool, and trash issues that must be yeeted from our collective reminiscences. I used to be even round when Volkswagen said with a straight face for weeks that it was altering its identify to “Voltswagen” after which, after a lot stress, each exterior and in, stated it was a joke. They obtained a lot shit for that stunt, and deservedly so.
And so, through the years, I’ve developed simply an absolute hatred towards this idiotic vacation the place people now get to queue up some trash-ass “AI” system, sort in a couple of phrases a couple of faux product, after which ship it out to writers and most of the people to faux it is actual and have “enjoyable.” I am right here to inform you it’ ain’t.
As you would possibly anticipate given the above diatribe, we can’t be posting something from producers about foolish April Fools’ stunts. We can’t be posting something about new merchandise that are not truly actual. We can’t be tricking our readers with a “Jonathon, Janaki, EJ and Robbie have flown off into the sundown to go seize Burmese Pythons within the Everglades and are handing the keys over to Tom Hardy who’s stated to be turning the location right into a vacation spot for all issues Frankie Pulitzer” at present.
As an alternative, I will provide you with 20 minutes of unadulterated Isle of Man awesomeness within the type of onboard of Davey Todd simply completely blitzing the mountain course. As a result of, and I am going to say this once more for everybody within the again, April Fools sucks.
