The Best April Fools’ 2012 Pranks

That day is behind us – the only day of the year when you can get away with as many pranks as you can. I was lucky enough not to have fallen for any practical jokes this year. But these are the best ones that I’ve gathered from around the internet.

1 – BBC’s: We Are All Dead

2 – Google’s 8-bit maps:

3 – Forbes’: Romney Drops Out of GOP Race

This piece has caused a frenzy and reached the top of Google news shortly after it was published. People had only read the headline and started spreading it, making it go viral. It was immediately taken down but you can still read it here.

4 – Kodak: Print Your Own Kittens:

5 – Toshiba’s New Laptops:

A New “Fatwa”: Women Can Masturbate!

Insane religious zealots – the gift that keeps giving and giving. Hilarious stuff that is. My friend Agnès shared this with me yesterday:

All the way from Morocco, sheikh Abdel Bary Al Zamzami has allowed women to masturbate using carrots, bottles & sexual objects (dildos). The sheikh in question is also premissive towards nechrophilia.

The reasoning behind his latest declaration? Apparently scientists back in the days allowed women who were late for marriage to masturbate using carrots and bottles to satisfy their need without damaging their honor, making their sexual need akin to hunger.

Crazy people are crazy. Al Zamzami is the head of the Moroccan committee for the study of religious text. Who put him in charge, I have no clue.

But yes, women should be overly happy that they can now shove a carrot up their vagina. That should keep their “honor” intact.

Barack Obama: “Sexy and I Know It”

Someone has way too much free time on their hands. But this is still hilarious. Hate the song, by the way.

Awesome Lebanese Bus Driver

Epic bus driver is epic? Yes I know.


“Attention! Driver is sleeping.”
The problem is you know it’s most probably true.

The picture was taken at Achrafieh.

A New “Fatwa”: Girls Cannot Sit With Their Fathers Unless Their Mothers Are Present

This is a picture of a newspaper article in Arabic that I saw circulating today.

The article translates to: “Muslim sheikh Mohammad Al Aarifi warned girls saying that some young girls sit in front of their fathers with a nice body, wearing tight outfits, showing cleavage such as when short blouses and tight pants are worn. She is young, her father is young and he might, therefore, hit on her if he saluted her or kissed her or hugged her…”

Simply put… What did I just read?

Some people need to be neutered. Or perhaps some regulation as to how can actually analyze any form of religious scripture needs to be enforced.

And I thought the “banana fatwa” was stupid enough. In case you didn’t know, another “sheikh” decided that girls shouldn’t consume bananas or cucumbers because of their sexually provocative nature as vegetables and fruits. Where do these people come from again?
