April Fool’s Day Has Been Cancelled

Every year we flip the calendar from March to April and, if we are smart, we know to be on the look out for pranks, jokes and tricks because it is of course April Fool's Day.

Now I've never been a practical joke fan. Maybe it's because when I was younger the joke was always on me. Of course those weren't practical...those were just pants down around the ankles while standing at the locker. Classmates weren't clever enough to really think of a practical joke. Any way, save that for the shrink.

However, in 2021 April Fool's Day as we used to know it for all intents and purposes, is cancelled. Not because of COVID. You can still pull a prank on somebody from 6ft away with a mask on if you dare. Actually the mask might make the joke better. No, the day is cancelled because of lawyers, technology and the cancel culture.

Let's start with any media outlet. They have the ability to pull of the best of the best pranks. War of the Worlds? Spaghetti Tree? Good stuff creating mass panic and confusion. Yeah, try that today as a radio station, TV station or even your cousins blog. You'd be sued before you even said it was a joke. Every person in any form of media has been sent the note from the corporate lawyers reminding them not to do any type of April Fool's Day jokes. I can't say "you could win a ____ oh April Fool's!" Yeah, the "April Fool's Day Defense" doesn't fly in court. So there is cancelation number one.

The second and third reasons the day is canceled tie together. Everything is recorded nowadays, and somebody from the cancel culture will see it and get offended. They are just the worst. Think of the pranks you pulled or had pulled on you back in the day. Now, put that in 2021. Yep, you're cancelled! Sure, there are "harmless" pranks and maybe you can try some of these on April 1. But I warn you, try this on the wrong person, or even if the actual person doesn't care...but it gets recorded and goes viral on social media, and it's game over for you.

So good luck. Watch your back. Don't believe anything until you verify it with like 5 sources. Set off an EMP before you pull any prank so nobody can record it.
