It definitely is:

Anna Gram isn't happy about the show, saying it's "a poor silly fad"

[info]lj_releases has an amusing one, but sadly the post is locked. ("Text and audio captchas have now been replaced by a small Flash tetris game. You must score at least 200 points in 60 seconds in order to proceed.")

I am so glad you did this. I was looking for a list. LJ almost caught me earlier with their claim of 140 before auto LJ cut and listing what people are doing. I mean it wasn't that unlikely except that it was too much like turning into facebook!

What are the signs, apart from the date, that the 'Concorde to fly again' is an April Fool? I don't see any suspicious names, fish references, or 'fooled you' links ...
