April Fools 2013: The Aftermath of Loyd Ervin

Well folks, that was a hoot. I'd like to give a special thanks to Wolf for the custom code for the obnoxious "LI"-style marketing popups, and Stick for hand drawing McGrope, mascot of the R-Force.

We've archived everything in the April Fools forum (under YMAS), along with the site wrapper. Here are the images we were working with, if you want to make use of them for your own future efforts:

Also, props from the UG:

All in all, it was fun, but there's a serious reason we ran this parody. We expect each of you to contribute some effort, whatever you can, to the ongoing investigation which you can find here. We'll be opening up Bullshido.org soon, so that all public information related to this case can be documented and archived for the entire Internet to see.

And as for the real Lloyd Irvin, he can go **** himself... if he can get it up, that is.

BZs Phrost, Wolf, any others involved. I especially enjoyed the convulsing death throes demonstration in the youtube vid:

Thanks. I spent a whole two hours bumbling through Adobe Premiere to make that... Don't feel it got enough love, especially after the time I spent tracking down shitty dated scifi shows to put it together.

Good choice with the Buck Rogers theme song... I need to watch that series, again.

Finally an april´s fool joke that is up to date and socially important.

Humor at its best, honestly.

Phrost has some serious (comedy) writing skills.

Yeah, I thought it was awesome. And the little pop-up thing bugged the **** out of me. But it was still awesome.

I like Biggator's comment on the UG pic.
