April Fool's - Year #6
April 25, 2010 - Phoenix AZ
- It is hard to believe that I started doing the April
Fool's web sites six (6) years ago. Since the premier of
SPOTS
there are now a total of Twenty-Three (23) sites that have
come out of my imagination. I have come a long way
with my creativity, color balance, image
creation - manipulation and web site design since
SPOTS.
2010 will be my
11th Playa Year - I cannot imagine my life
without Burning Man and the year-round community that we
have here in Arizona and the communities all over the globe
that I have had the honor of interacting with.
 Over the past six years I have learned
that most people are just unaware that it is April Fool's
ala 04/01 and that anything you might read on that day may
be subject to a bit more scrutiny. People read & react
without really reading. You might ask, do I think I am still
fooling people? Have they not caught on to the Scotto April
Fool's legacy? The answer of course is that even with
23 web sites over 6 years, people are still gullible.
There was actually one additional web site, if you count the
fire incident that was requested to be taken down because it
went over the proverbial joke line...Fire,
Death & Friends according to some, just not funny....
The line of funny to absurd - over the
line to obnoxious does not exist at the moment of creation
or imagination, that being before anyone other than the
creator has seen it. Once others have the opportunity to
view and filter what they have seen and comment on it, does
it actually cross the border into Obscene and just plain
wrong. I love this comment from 2007 when the
Fire, Death & Friends web site
premiered.

To whom it may concern:
I don't know if you are responsible for the
April Fool's Day "hoax" in which the death of
three people, the personal injury of 19 others,
and the arrest of another was cited, so I must
maintain an objective approach here. I will only
say that, if you are this person, please seek
psychiatric help. Today. NOW. This person is
sick and in immediate need of treatment and
confinement, and under no circumstance should
have access to a mass communication device of
any kind, ever again. |

In the end I get a kick out of the Burning
Man Parody thing, coming up with the domain names and the
creative outlet that is web design. I hope you have enjoyed the 2010 sites as
much as I did in creating them. Yes, you can count on
another round of April Fool's web sites, ala Scotto in 2011.
