April Fool's Day Prank 

Published April 1, 2008 at 11:49 a.m.

Check it out — "Wood Lot" at Vermont Scrap Wood wrote an eerily observant April Fool's Day post poking fun at the Vermont blogosphere, including me and 7D:

I've been as confused as anyone with all the changes to the 7Dayswebsite and blogs recently but it all became clear in a pressconference this morning when spokesperson, Rathy Cresmer, announcedthat 7Days had completed the acquisition of both Green Mountain Dailyand Vermont Tiger. Rathy said, "My readers know that I have been AWOLmuch of the past year as I have been attending important mediaconferences around the country. I learned that this new media businessis all about page views and building advertising networks throughowning and operating a variety of online properties."

Wow. Obviously this person has been paying attention to my sadly neglected little blog. Cool!

Read the rest. For those of us who keep up with the Vermont blogosphere, it's pretty funny. Nice work, Woody.
