Introducing… CafePress-o-Pedia!

In a recent and somewhat distressing study, 3 out of 4 Americans expressed frustration with the daily challenge of telling the world who they are and how they roll.

Because let’s face it: with 24-hour-news stations blathering on around the clock, it can be so time-consuming to try to keep up with what’s actually newsworthy. Encyclopedias are no help – they’re boring and almost immediately out of date, and they don’t cover important topics like Sarah Palin’s VPILF status.

And then there’s all those junk mail catalogues. How many of them are truly useful? How many of them help you accessorize your entire world? How many of them transform you into a relevant watercooler conversationalist with classic wardrobe choices that make ironical statements about political and social events and phenomena?

And so, for those 213 million Americans who feel overwhelmed with the constant battle of staying dressed and staying relevant at the same time, we present:

CAFEPRESS-O-PEDIA : your (FREE*) subscription to yourself!

“puts the ‘U’ in ’self expression’
Classic!
Great prank!
Also: the spam filter (reCAPTCHA) had me type “double high”. I think that’s what it took to come up with this joke! You guys HAD to be double high!
Still laughing…

The email I got about the new hybrid cat-dog pet was much more convincing. Siamoodle, anyone?

Sorry to sound like a downer, but this was really lame, in every way.

Ha! Had me going there for a sec with the e-mail, but once I saw the video, I know it was an April Fool’s prank. Good one.
