TRON April Fool's 2008 Joke Roundup
I thought about posting this yesterday, but felt it was best to wait until today rather than spoil the jokes . . . in case they fooled anybody, that is. :)
First we had TheReelTodd's front page article on TRON-Sector about a luddite trying to sue the character of TRON. Considering the number of frivolous lawsuits filed by people these days, it's not hard to believe this could actually happen.
Second, was Mr. Sinistar's announcement on the front page of the TRON Wiki about the TRON movie sequel script being leaked to the internet. This one is also somewhat believable, because all kinds of leaks about new films happen quite often. I'm not sure how long the article will remain on the Wiki site, so I took a screenshot of it. There's also a Digg link to this story.
Third, was TRON.dll's message posting about a Wii version of TRON 2.0: KILLER APP being released. Ah, if only it were so.
Finally, someone put up a phony TRON 2.0 server yesterday that showed it was full of players all day. Congratulations to whoever pulled this off. A very nice trick.
These are the TRON-related April Fool's jokes that I noticed for this year. If anyone else has any to share, please let us all know by leaving a comment.
