Cool April Fool's Day joke

Post by heustess »

I did not catch this on Sunday, but I read about it online today. You can still get to it and use it via the 2nd link. The youtube video is a riot.

**Google Maps 8-bit Version** -- Bowing to market pressure, Google has
ported Google Maps to the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES),
producing an NES cartridge with a modem for connecting to Google’s
servers and providing an intro video that provides valuable
troubleshooting advice (blow on the cartridge to remove bugs). Be
sure to give it a try — Google Maps for NES is fully functional!

Actually my favorite was from Westjet one of the local Airlines here in Canada.

I was so hoping this one was real.

Yeah, no carrier's had the 'intestinal fortitude' to actually introduce entirely child free flights - but Malaysian Airlines has done it for the first-class cabin.
