This April Fools’ Day it needs to be special. And by special, I mean truly EPIC. I’ve been brainstorming for weeks about what I would do, and I’ve had some real killer ideas that would unfortunately fall flat on their face during execution.

When I saw there was 250+ people in each room, I figured it would be nearly impossible to pull off without a lot of help - someone would notice all the clones and it would be over.

That seemed pointless- is the gag that lots of people actually watch the video? Which it seems is a big fat copyright violation, as it plays an entire music video. Who is that in the video, anyway? All kids under age 40 look alike to me :)

I think you should try again. Youtube had a prank that they would show the "Never Gonna Give Up" video. I just went to the original article and now I see the video of the guy calling Microsoft support.

EDIT: Nevermind. I see that the Rick video plays after the phone call video....
