This is a potential April Fools that has been brewing:

There are white varieties of strawberry already, but I think it is basically a publicity stunt.

This is why I find April Fools day to be very annoying. You can't trust any news articles today to be real or just part of the holiday "fun". :P

You guys wanna see something REALLY BAD? Go check your profile picture on your DeviantArt accounts. All of you, right now.

Rather than my usual Black Knights insignia, I instead found... well, you can see for yourself: http://long-live-japan.deviantart.com/

Some of the admins are going to get tarred and feathered over this...

I didn't have a look at yours what was it? I had team Edward... yurk... I noticed quite a few people had lady Gaga!

Yes, Edward, Jacob, Gaga, and Seekers . I really wish I would have gotten a Seeker one or even Gaga. I hate Twilight, and I got pukey Edward. Century old pervert chasing high school girls!

Replaced everyone's avatar with one of the following: Edward Cullen, Jacob Black, that one guy from Legend of the Seeker, or Lady Gaga. They also changed everyone's signatures, and disabled avatar/signature control for the whole day.

Thankfully at 0000 PDT April 2nd they changed everything back as it were. Otherwise I would have been pissed.
