There is another comment in the thread where someone suggests that maybe its time we do away with april fools. Personally, I think most of the jokes are dumb (and honestly mostly closer to the kind of inoffensive-to-all anodyne crap that can still be distributed as a "joke"). But I find it horrific that people think doing away with it is the answer (it's also possible that person is trolling I suppose)

Anyway, I've said before, this reminds me of "The name of the rose" where the inquisition era zealot couldn't accept that religious men should laugh, because if they can laugh, they could laugh at God and the whole power of the church would fall apart. There is an echo of this in the current lack of tolerance for any humor that derives from making fun of something, grounded in the misunderstanding that finding humor in something means disrespecting it.

I don't agree. I think some people are just too lazy to think of a good, funny joke that may or may not be offensive to some, but that in any case does not make anyone truly worried. These did and still do exist.
