The Best Internet April Fools' Gags 2012
Brian Gilmore Every year, the websites that have the most time to pull a huge prank (or even just a gag) on April Fools battle it out for who will be the funniest, most clever and overall best April Fools gag on the internet that year. In 2012, we had AdBlock changing ads to cats, YouTube selling DVDs, WestJet launching child-free cabins and more.

They should seriously make this a normal feature.
