No, Not Really

Posted on Thursday, April 01 at 00:02 by Jesse
Don't panic, vive isn't under investigation, nor has any of our data been seized. April fool's and all that. Did you believe it? Of course, if we continue to allow our freedoms as Canadians be taken away in the name of 'security', someday it may not be a joke. Now, back to your regularly scheduled content.

    OK that is not funny! I emailed Mel Hurtig, cause I didn't know what to do...I didn't click for more info the first time...I took a break then realized it was April 1! Some people might not...soooooo you might want to rethink that joke...some people might be afraid of the prospects of having their name linked to a site that could be investigated....I know I was praying for you...seriously, cause it is not that far fetched

    Oops, forgot to tell Mel ahead of time. He has just been advised of the joke, and hopefully won't get many confusing emails about it.

    Haha... my brother found that as I was writing a rather anti-american (the administration, not the people) comment.

    My first thought was that the site had been hacked somehow. Then I remembered the date. Good one. LOL.

    I gotta admit, my heart started pounding twice the speed. Canadians are the best comedians!

    Hehehe. I love April 1st.<p> My next door neighbour called this morning. Seems instead of regular cable, she was getting 5 channels of porn and 1 channel of Barney. Lucky I had those old VCR's a Video processor and a good chunk of cableing.<p> It's the one day of the year where if it makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I'm allowed to do it :)<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />

    Very funny. I thought, 'just what could be expected of them'. I emailed Mel too, he should get a good laugh out of it. :)

    So the joke worked twice. Once on us, the second on Mel :)<p> <p>---<br>"History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme" Mark Twain <br />
