April Fools Day Spam Invades Google

Screw the children. The Internet is no place for children. Some parts of it may be suitable to them, but most of the Internet isn't, and it's up to parents to determine what their children are smart enough or too dumb to see.

This looks pretty real as per google just the idea is so crazy this must be an April fools joke, yes??
This comes straight from the Gmail log in , what you say guys and gals??

New! Gmail Custom TimeTM
Ever wish you could go back in time and send that crucial email that could have changed everything -- if only it hadn't slipped your mind? Gmail can now help you with those missed deadlines, missed birthdays and missed opportunities.

Pre-date your messages
You tell us what time you would have wanted your email sent, and we'll take care of the rest. Need an email to arrive 6 hours ago? No problem.

Mark as read or unread
Take sending emails to the past one step further. We let you make emails look like they've been read all along.

Make them count
Use your custom time stamped messages wisely -- each Gmail user gets ten per year.

Worry less
Forget your finance reports. Forget your anniversary. We'll make it look like you remembered.

So what do you think??? If this is true its the craziest things Ive ever seen!

I got pranked by a blogger today and did not realize it was an april fools joke...I took it quite seriously because the prank took over my browser and kept opening up windows...not funny at all

At Blogoscoped we can define on a per-post level which articles make it into Google News and which should be hidden. So for satire, it won't end up in Google News. Same for an April Fool's joke unless it's a disclosed reporting on the joke.

rel=NoAprilFools attribute. This could be a good idea to avoid spam
