Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:25:57 -0800 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:25:57 -0800 en-us http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 It's a joke frchristssakes. http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes Y'know...I can handle bad April Fool's jokes from tech companies (or others). Yeah, they aren't great, but megacorporations aren't really known for their great sense of humour. What I hate is that people feel this is there opportunity to bitch, whine and complain about someone else's attempt at humour, how much they hate AFD, how it should have been funnier, or how they would have done it better. It's a joke frchristssakes. Laugh. Or don't. Just don't whine. post:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:17:51 -0800 Kickstart70 By: Saucy Intruder http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399173 ???<br> I don't get it. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399173 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:25:57 -0800 Saucy Intruder By: Balisong http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399174 /whiny voice/ Iiii don't geeeeet it.../whiny voice/ comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399174 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:27:09 -0800 Balisong By: delmoi http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399175 I think metafilter would lose about 40% of it's content if people couldn't bitch and/or snark about things they felt didn't live up to their standards. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399175 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:29:38 -0800 delmoi By: sourwookie http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399178 I think he's referencing replies like <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/59923/Theres-no-free-lunch-in-bicycle-maintenance">this</a>:<br> <br> <em>Do we really have to have two dozen stupid ass joke posts today?

One was thankfully deleted already. If everybody posted their own little "ha ha look at my favorite site, they're so funny today" post, then we'd have about four hundred boring posts. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399187 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 10:59:18 -0800 Rhomboid By: Eideteker http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399189 <em>"It's a joke frchristssakes.

Den Beste By: DevilsAdvocate http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399192 If there's a post on an AFD-modified site or other AFD joke, then, know what? It <i>is</i> the opportunity for people to say they didn't find it that funny, that it could have been done better, etc., etc. It's a legitimate, on-topic response. I know there are some people who would like MeFi to be all puppies and rainbows and hugs, but I for one am glad that we have a certain amount of disagreement and debate here, regardless of whether it's in the politics threads or in the AFD threads.<br> <br> But yeah, Rhomboid's comment cited above belongs in MeTa, not in the thread on the blue. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399192 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 11:27:26 -0800 DevilsAdvocate By: Brandon Blatcher http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399193 Not funny man, not funny <i>at all</i>. comment:metatalk.metafilter.com,2007:site.13949-399193 Sun, 01 Apr 2007 11:33:18 -0800 Brandon Blatcher By: geoff. http://metatalk.metafilter.com/13949/Its-a-joke-frchristssakes#399195 Are you asking for us to stop whining?
