Supermacs change their name, Aer Lingus change their logo and no more Spire

We're eyeing every one of you with suspicion

What a time to be alive.

April Fool’s Day is at full throttle, your gullibility being tested by every single news story to be found on the information superhighway.

Yes, the internet is offering to shake your hand, but is wearing one of those shakey-hand-electric-buzzer-thingamabobs twixt thumb and palm.

Don’t you dare be fooled by…

Supermacs are changing their name to McDonagh’s

‘A changed menu and name will also help McDonagh’s with its expansion abroad as it seeks to distinguish itself from fast food companies whose inferior products share similar sounding name to Supermac’s,’ reads the press release.

Cheeky scamps.

The government are taking down the Spire for next year’s 1916 centenary celebrations

RTÉ produced this piece of information that was largely overlooked at yesterday’s announcement. Wonder how that happened?

The organisers hope to recreate the feel of O’Connell Street 100 years ago and that will involve dismantling the Spire and housing it in an aircraft hangar for two weeks.

They’re going to spend €500,000 doing it, which is ALMOST believable given Enda and co.’s willingness to sell off the family silver.

What they’ll do about Dr. Quirkey’s has yet to be decided.

Introducing the world’s first cycle-through bank

Yes, ehm, no. Not even for a second. We’re easily fooled but… no.

Domino’s cut out the delivery driver…

DomiNoDriver indeed. Next thing we’ll be eating out of edible pizza boxes.

Innocent smoothies replace the insides of Oreos with toothpaste

Frankly, we love the more childish pranks like this.  This would have made a young JOE very proud.

There’s a brand new Back To The Future/Fast & Furious mash-up 

Aer Lingus have emoji-fied their logo, don’t ya know?
