Culture

April Fool’s Day is coming up, and that means one thing: you need to be prepared.

If your friends are anywhere near as crazy as I hope they are, they’re going to come at you with some ridiculous, outlandish, and (of course) humiliating prank material that will later be broadcast on YouTube for the whole world to see. And I’ll be here at my computer, laughing hysterically at your misfortune.
