It's April 1st, and you know what the means…it's the first of the month!
Oh, yeah. It's also the Internet's favorite holiday. Everyone from Google to LinkedIn is pulling some kind of April Fools' prank. But instead of covering all the shenanigans (there's too many and we won't stand for it), we thought we'd talk about things in pop culture we wish were April Fools' jokes. You know, all those stories you read and then you think: "That can't be real. This is just a really elaborate prank. It has to be!"
