It's no longer easy to play April Fool's jokes on Americans because their reality is so chaotic that it's no longer easy to tell what is real, funny, fake or sad.

It feels like there’s few pranks these days that don’t end up being cruel. We have enough horrifyingly outrageous things in the news, that if the prank is trying to make us think something horrible happened that didn’t, we sure don’t need that. On the other hand, if it’s trying to make us think that something good happened, but it didn’t, then that’s a really perverse cruelty.
