Rojo, does Wejo know you started this thread?

Stop for a second and think about this. I am retired and not affected by this, but there are many people hurting out there. Even if you and Wejo are not affected, think about the situation of others.

Now your thread joke is not really going to bother anyone (yes it's just a joke), but it says something about you that you would find something funny here.

Delete your thread before you further embarrass yourself.

(And please no jokes about you or Wejo being seriously ill with covid, that wouldn't be funny either.)

We need some levity right now. I read your post and wanted to puke, and I'm not even a Rojo fan.

I found it hilarious that people would fall for it and I don't often agree with BroJos. Their best 4/1 prank EVER!

What is not so funny is that people are willing to bail out those who have more than those who don't have much.

I do love this site for the running threads. Everything else is just "entertainment" and enlightening.

Thanks for the hour of entertainment last night!

I'm all for levity. but this was stupid. There are 1000s ways to have levity without resorting to tired April Fools day stories.

Some of the people complaining about a poorly timed joke (in their opinion) on a goofy running web site forum support abortion daily, want drugs legalized, support pastors being arrested & churches forcibly closed down, love when millions of dollars are committed to a performing arts center or sick people won't get help, don't like "China Virus", didn't have 6 months emergency funds in place while in debt, don't mind that their constitutional rights are under full on attack etc...etc...

Yet they keep returning here to inflict their miserable opinions on the rest. It's just another choice they make yet still complain. Thankfully, they live in a place where they don't just disapear for getting out of line.

The joke is on them...they just don't know it.

No; it’s just fun to pick on the blojos.

The liberals have zero sense of humour. They have demonstrated it again and again, times after times. They are outraged by the slightest joke which does not follow their moral purity. They are all morally bankrupt and psychologically deranged. We ought to treat them with contempt.

The fact that they are all out crying and being salty for an April's fool joke is telling. They are not natural and good hearted human being, they are souless bots.

I am amazed that people fell for this. The Brojos have a tradition of very clever and apocryphal April Fool's stories of which this is the latest and maybe the best. Beyond that, just look at the language in the press release. Weldon is referred to as the "Brains" of the operation. Even if that were true, Rojo would not cop to that.

Beyond that, they might someday fold (or more likely give the site to Gault) but merely because they'd want to get on with their lives. They're not going to cite worldwide economic conditions and plead poverty. Did anyone ever imagine they were in this for the money?

Robertson, why are you assuming these people are "liberals?" I'd suggest you're wrong. You wouldn't be one of those guys who goes out of his way to find bogus reasons to blast "liberals," would you?

It's less stupid than Conundrum's tiny violin of a sob story post.

You sound like a conservative snowflake who cries about the war on Christmas and every other "slight". The liberal snowflakes are sorry as well. Snowflakes cry so much because they're dissatisfied with their own life and need someone else to blame. Stop crying, accomplish something meaningful in life.

I have observed that "Liberals" are the most easily offended people on earth. These people are being offended by an April's Fool joke, therefore it's not surprising to suppose that they are liberals. The reasonning is tight.

This attempt at an April Fools joke was overall just a big pile of dogpoop. It was obvious from the first reading and it wasn't funny at all. The only funny responses were those posting some form of dreams becoming reality. The go fund me posts should be removed because those make the thread even more tone deaf than it was from the start.

LOL at liberals having no sense of humor. Because every great comedian and musician was a conservative. Fvcking hysterical.

I consider myself a reasoned observer of life and public affairs. I can only feel sorry for such childish reactions. Immature children have this kind of reaction, liberals do not have the maturity to deal with "complex" feelings such as black humor.

I said the word humor black, I probably offended them terribly. I hope they can recover.

DEFINITELY this is the best April 1st joke yet, and there have been some good ones. We all can use a smile in these troubled times, and after my initial shock, when I did feel that pang of loss, I rolled with a good laugh. Very well played!

Your both missing the point of this thread by the way. It was an awful joke that erred on the side of “too soon” and was a perfect opportunity for the trolls to come out and beat up on the Blojos. I personally don’t hate either of them but I love picking on both liberals and conservatives. But I’ll leave you to play your team sports game again.. tata b!tches.

You're considered a smug, know it all d*ck, by most who know you. They just have the maturity not to tell it to your face.

The only quality of an April joke is to be believed. And judging from some reactions, many fell for it. The goal was met. The only problem in this story is the Liberals who did not understand that a joke could be made in a moment of gravity. People who want to control what other people think and say should always be ignoredand treated with contempt.

“Quality” and “April fools joke” sounds like an oxymoron.
