Hockey is without question a rich part of the cultural fabric in Canada.
People and families revolve around their local rinks. Thousands flock to the stadiums of NHL teams on an almost-nightly basis. Therefore the buildings that house the game become an important and very central element of community in Canada.
Arguably none more so than Toronto’s hockey shrine – Maple Leaf Gardens.
You know the type. The person with a personally-stamped “I have a sense of humor” tag on his forehead. Who plays tricks, pranks and gags to get a kick of out suckering his fellow man.
Well today is their day. The day to celebrate their brand of hilarity and wreak some havoc on the world to get a sense of personal satisfaction in ruling for one small moment over another.
It is April Fool’s Day y’all. And not only are your friends out there suckering America, but so are some of your favorite brands.

Take a look at the post below this one. It is a classic example of a guy being a social media d-bag.
There are a million blogs, Google+ posts and Tweets that talk about trivial things such as “when will Google sunset Blogger?” out there already. And for some reason I jumped into the pool and built a freakin Google Doc response vehicle.
Why did I do this?
So a question came up a few weeks back via Campbell’s Adam Kmiec:
How long til Google shuts down blogger and redirects people to Google+?

After some Twitter banter on the topic with @RBinhammer and @erinebold I ask the question to you – when do you think this might happen?
