Cultural imperialism is not confined to societies. It can be done by 
individuals too. And Pedro's critical remarks are aimed at individuals. 
No need to feel offended as a member of the English majority (except you 
support imposing your own cultural sillynesses on other people, in that 
case, feel offended).

The main problem with "just ignore them" is: If you don't know the 
custom of April's Fool day, you won't know that it's a joke. And even if 
you know the custom you can still fall for the jokes.

I am fully aware, that there will always be idiots, who don't know how 
to behave in an intercultural environment, but only if we tell them that 
they are idiots, awareness can arise for the idioticy of this behaviour.
