Another April Fools Day has come and gone. Thankfully my parents aren’t prankers, and even more thankfully I have no friends (which means no pranks)!
\nThough Youtube’s content creators were pranking their viewers. The typical ones were “I’m deleting my channel… APRIL FOOLS!!” This actually got to a point it was getting old, especially IGP’s somewhat funny attempt of pranking he wasn’t going to cover Indie games anymore. Though I did laugh a bit of him pretending to be a badass playing CoD 3 multiplayer.
\nThe winner of the day (in my opinion) went to HeelzVsBabyface for saying he’s coming back to WoW. My initial reaction was “…wait WHAT?! Az is coming back to WoW?! What made him change?” Watching his video, and he’s reading a comic book. I’m all “hello? Az? Tell us why you– WAIT A MINUTE!! Ohh my god, it’s April Fools Day! :D”
\n*PRANKED*<\/strong>
\nI laughed my head off over how dumb I was believing it. Bravo, sir! Bravo!<\/p>\n

There were also two videos (DadCubed and most recently SuperMarioLogan) who actually had us waiting for a full hour..watching paint dry. This really makes you question your life choices. Heh. Bravo!
\nAnd then, as the day started coming to a close, things got a bit messy. First off, in real life, I was watching a video showing the ’30 best pranks’ when my mother came into the door and said the cops were here, saying there was someone screaming near our house for anyone to help her, saying she was robbed and assaulted(believes by her boyfriend). Wow.. April Fools prank gone horribly wrong? I didn’t hear anyone screaming (of course I had my window closed as it’s a bit chilly out there), and that low key worries me. Really hope they get whoever did that off the streets. Hate hearing that happening, especially this close to me.<\/p>\n

The other thing was an reoccurring theme on Youtube, of titles being changed to “OurMine Are Back!… ( Read the description )”. On Twitter, there was a tweet about this guy’s channel had been hacked. Went to the channel, and I saw the same titles as before. Who is this ‘OurMine’?
\nThis is what the description says about it;
\n“Hey, it’s OurMine don’t worry we are just testing your security, please contact us for more information<\/p>\n

*LINK HIDDEN FOR YOUR SAFETY*
\n*EMAIL HIDDEN FOR YOUR SAFETY*”
\n‘Testing your security’? Since Youtube has stated nothing about it (or of a security fix), clearly their security still has holes in it. Well, at least it’s not a DDoS.
\nIf this is an April Fools prank, it’s only funny to the prankster. Strange thing is, they’re only changing specific videos on specific channels.
\nWell, Youtube will clean up this mess.. or it might clean itself up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
