Not any slur against you, but I consider this basically lame. Being willing to post News of the Weird is not the same thing as Not Taking Ourselves Too Seriously.
Being willing to act like Uncyclopedia for 24 out of 8765 hours of the year is.
The problem with April Fool's Day is and has always been that on a project of this size you A) Get lots of unfunny, and B) Get a sufficient volume of unfunny that the site stops being usable. c.f. the massive banners people were dropping into the mediawiki namespace last year.
I would personally say the main page is good, and that we should also restrict other hijinks to the Wikipedia namespace.
And ban them from the template namespace.
