Ok, ok, we're done -- Foxtoid.com has filed for bankruptcy despite its unparalleled coverage of corruption and non consensual forced sodomy in the gaming industry.  The co-branded venture made it into Mashable's Top 5 jokes of the day and a little love from Sony.  You can probably guess what brought this on: Like many gamers, we've had a bone to pick with Fox News since the Mass Effect scandal and wanted to use today's opportunity to make a statement and enjoy spoofing their sensationalist format. An eye for an eye, putos chingones! (I'm practicing taxi dialogue for our staff trip to Cancun this week).

Amidst the chaos we had a few user submitted gems too -- we encourage you to check out the April 1st Community Blogs, some which CTZ has been dutifully promoting.  I'd also like to share with you this letter to the editor from a concerned reader about the bizarre happenings on today's home page. Names have been removed to protect the innocent:

You know, I thought my IE was being mislead by a phishing attack when I landed on the Destructiod site – but it looks like the right site but some things have changed. What happened? The page looks like it was designed in the early 90’s – and every story somehow involves prostitution, masturbation, child diddling homosexuals, video game case rape scandals, sexing picnic tables - and the same two nerdy guys showing up over and over in one posting to the next – comment totals missing - the hell is going on? Was the site bought out by high-schoolers? Why is everything sucking all of the sudden? The hell is FoxToid – and why is it sucking so bad? Nerd uprising of some sort? Very disappointing.

We're unsure if this confused soul missed the date on the calendar or truly captured the spirit of things and single handedly one-upped us, but it was very entertaining either way.  Hope everyone enjoyed their April Fool's around the web and on our special edition of Foxtoid.  The domain name should continue to work for anyone that missed it.

What were your favorite pranks from around the web this year?

So long Foxtoid, thanks for the mustache!

ZeroTolo

I will be holding onto this mustache for a while.

chickennoodlespraypaint

tattoo assassins!

Upgrayedd

One of the best I saw all day.

Neonie

Niero I know it's over but Foxtoid.com has broken title font and stuff. I really had wanted to keep useing it for a while :C.

JRisJunior

i thank yall for the stashe. i was impressed with both the electro things, interview and the blog post.

SR388

I enjoyed reading all of the funny details which appeared on the front page.

Sadly I was quite confused for a solid 10 minutes earlier today wondering what the hell happened.

tsunamikitsune

I lol'd at FoxToid, but damn was that interface a headache. The mustaches, however, are brilliant. I think I may keep mine on for a few more days, possibly out of pure laziness more than anything.

I didn't really see much of anything that great today, but maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough. :/

I do have to give special mention to Kongregate, as they are the first to ever Rickroll me with absolutely NO clue that it was coming. Well played, clerks. Well played.

MaxVest

To defeat its enemy, Destructoid became its enemy.

I see the truth of it now.

tazarthayoot

Kudos to you Niero. You guys seriously did an amazing job of outdoing yourselves from last year.

Wexx

Ooo, Props (I think?) from Sony? Weewww! Have fun in Cancun, weirdo.

Danmartigan

And whoever made this graphic deserves a raise:

diversionmary

wry penis wry

Samit Sarkar

Yeah, it was a ton of fun while it lasted, but it’s good to have the old Destructoid back.

Teta

Mustaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaache

Zerozaki Ishiki

The Braid artist had the one that made me laugh the hardest. Rather nice send up of their own hyperbole.

NightDehumidifier

I'm not gonna lie, I liked the other website. It was more informative.

Guagloves

Blizzard had some great stuff as always, like a 8 bit version of World of Warcraft for consoles and a Pinata unit in Diablo 2.

thisissami

i personally think youtube had one of the best aprils fools pranks, along with gamespot... i remember 2 years ago gamespot actually had me thinking that there actually was a cowbell hero being made. only after i read the comments did i realize that it was aprils fools that day... but seriously, did anybody go to youtube.com today?!?

MrSadistic

See You Foxtoid.

Brian Szabelski

It was an awesome time. Thanks, Niero. :)

PsychoSoldier

Legend of Zelda movie trailer, best prank ever!

Bob Muir

Great job, Niero, this year rocked!

Sharpless

Mustaches never die. They just fall off for a while.

HarassmentPanda

I totally skip the Internet on April 1st. I have no time for such tom foolery.

tkyy

@HarassmentPanda
You're not funny and I'm going to cry.

fetusmilk

BWAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHA CHILD DIDDLING!!! WAHAHAHAHAHA

frozenbabylon

Some people need to grow a new funny bone and lighten up.

Justice

College Humor was EPIC. The Halo 3 matchmaking screen was pretty cool too.

I feel sorry for the bizzare individual.

Knivy

It was awesome Niero, I really liked the Blizzard one also, those are always classic.

falinter

Best shite evar!

Excel-2011

I chalk it up to my bleakened sense of humor, but I hated every single April Fools joke on all the big sites yesterday.

Cowzilla3

I loved Workmans face photoshoped onto the two actors. Brilliant!

Lt Numbnuts

I don't know what's the meaning you're trying to give "putos chingones" but may I clear up that, whilst bad language indeed, it ain't an insult, even more so it's actually a compliment.
knowledge is power!

Eschatos

Blizzard and Lego Halo were pretty awesome.

Demtor

Ya'll stop screwing around. Okay? You do too much screwing around.



*Obscure?*

13thDragon

Foxtoid rocked. Awesome idea, I loved it.

I laughed at Xbox's "wireless helmet" only because I could totally see millions of Halo nerds buying it and sitting around playing Halo with it on.

necrozen

Foxtoid was my favorite. Also Revision3's reversed videos, the Legend of Zelda movie trailor on IGN was good. Thinkgeek had some funny ones too.

All in all, it was the best april fools ever.

KyleGamgee

I dug Xbox's New Spring Line-up. The Wireless Contriller Helmet and Retro Hardwood Console were nice.

Odd... I can't find it on their website. It was still on Live last night...

supernaut

Foxtoid was great (better than Cashwhore). Now I know who to blame the next time someone sexes up a picnic table.

I also enjoyed YouTube rickrolling anyone who clicked a Featured Video.

ZServ

I'll be honest, i liked the idea of foxtoid, but, past the idea...
it fucking sucked. And was annoying.

Holyetheline

Foxtoid was pretty fun though. =)
