:mad: I'm not a big fan of these things when they don't get the timezones right. :( For that one, sadly, it was pretty believable.

I'm not a fan of those period. I mean, I just don't get April Fool's Day at all. Most of the jokes aren't funny, and if they are believable enough, can create a lot of chaos.

They can be fun in person, but on the Internet? They just don't work. Timezones monkey them up badly.

Interesting thing is that although the seizure page was a prank, using an image of a badge, logo or insignia of a federal agency without proper authorization (or doing something which may lead someone to reasonably believe you are representing a federal agency) is illegal in the US.
Hopefully, this gag won't backfire on them. :o

Interesting point.
But they didn't represent that they were a part of the govt. They merely represented that the govt. stole their domain and charged them. Not sure that the distinction would matter though. When it's illegal to dig a large ditch on your own property out in the country-side, anything is possible.
