I can't get the Google thing to work. I'm actually surprised they didn't put a doodle or something fun on their homepage.
Edit: Looks like it doesn't work in FF. Works in Chrome, tho.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/ has a few joke products. However I do sort of wish this one was real:

Hot Topic has a Golden Girls line
Woot is being unshitty with $5 all month shipping.
@narfcake but they are also being shitty with their "bidet" theme today
@narfcake Woot is also offering bidets in every category except wine. Apparently some things are sacred. -edit- No, the top menu says 'wine' but the mouseover says 'winebidet!'
@OldCatLady mmmm, bidet wine lol

Shout out to the #brands that didn't do elaborate April Fools pranks, maybe just a discount code for the day or nothing at all. I appreciate you not making me want to punch anybody in the face today.
(except Meh of course, where I always expect shenanigans)
I think Pornhub won. (link is to screencap, not to the actual beast)
Someone posted that screencap and there I was, at my desk wheezing and spewing tears and praying to everything holy my boss did not come back there and ask me what was funny.
