April Fools' Eve Meh-rathon, Challenge Edition

This is actually pretty cool. When you’re not using it, it sits on your couch appearing to be a totally normal pillow. When you need a little weighted comfort, you unpack it and lay it on your lap.

Current Challenge: Write a short scene from the movie about you and your dog/cat as a buddy cop duo.

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE??

The basics: We’re doing a little April Fools’ Day game, asking our users to complete a series of ridiculous, stupid, and fun (we hope) photography/writing/drawing tasks throughout the day. The current challenge is listed above with a link to the forum topic to post your entry if you want to participate.

But why: Because April Fools’ Day has grown tiresome. Sure, maybe we laughed the first few years that corporations took on the challenge of lying to their customers. But then, we got to the point where Continental was tweeting about their new airliner constructed entirely from bacon or whatever and it got a little old. We want to celebrate April Fools’ Day in a fun way.

Okay, but why on March 31st: Because you’re more likely to be tethered to your computer on a Friday than a Saturday.

Will there be winners: Yes! The winner will be whoever gets the most votes on their entry!

Will there be prizes: Yes! The pride of knowing you had some fun on the internet!

So, there won’t be prizes: Correct. Unless you want to bag yourself the prize of Instant Regret by heading on over to SideDeal. Besides, it may only cost you a penny if you follow the rules!
