Kind of a long read but well worth it.  This was just too good to delete.  Lots of people chimed in at the end.  Enjoy!

Ok so today the site had pretty good prank going on on the front page. For those of you who didn't see it here is what the front page of the site looked like, it even had working links to the MPA and GUV. All in all it made for a pretty good joke, so we started seeing how many people we could get to fall for this after we realized what was going on.

There were a few other people who we got pretty well, but none compared to what you are about to read. This was all done in the sprit of a good prank, I did not expect for him to do anything irreversible. I didn't even expect for it to go for as long as it did. I think that everyone involved realizes this, and I hope you get a good laugh out of it. So without further ado:
