I...do not know what to say. Incomprehensible comes to mind.
Exec #1: You know, we are so very successful at making games, I bet we could do well in any consumer goods and services sector.
Exec #2: Wow Larry, that is so logical I can't believe we did not think about that sooner. |

I especially liked the whole Hunger System and the Secret Cow Level VIP lounge. Maybe I'm just easy to humor but I think it's a pretty good joke.

Hey, give the guy a break. This isn't just your every day April Fool's joke, it's a classic. I mean, who can really go past a Frost Shock Smoothie in Orc, Tauren or Troll flavours?
I feel it's our duty to post spurious April Fool's stories, and be taken in by them.
