April Fools' websites and ads
So, it's April Fool's Day and you know there are companies that have been planning for this day all year! What websites or ads have you found that are an April Fool's joke?
The first one I found, while stumbling, was a blog for new Starbucks sizes. Starbucks Listens to Customer Request for More Sizes | Starbucks Coffee Company Quote:

Thanks, I was going to start this thread.
There are always good products available at ThinkGeek :: Stuff for Smart Masses . I want the Dharma Initiative Alarm Clock. -------------- This one has to be a joke, but I can't figure out how they pulled off the video. Improv Everywhere posted the results of the No Underwear Subway Ride. (I'm on the Agents list, but didn't get notice of this event, so it must be a joke.)

I just heard a great one on Talk of the Nation. They even got Paul Krugman in on it. When NPR posts it on the website, I'll be back with a link.
