According to the official Facebook blog , starting today, friends and families of deceased Facebook users can now switch accounts over to “memorialized” profiles. The account is locked and stripped of sensitive information, so people can come and pay their respects. This is both a very noble gesture, and the basis for a number of new Facebook related pranks.

The Yes Men, the same guys behind the fake New York Times prank , have done it again, this time distributing a fake New York Post filled with factual information that detail the threats posed by climate change. We can only assume that these guys are the product of Michael Moore eating Ashton Kutcher and pooping out citizen journalism pranksters.

I'm just really into how intricate the setup for this is. Teachable moment: Any time someone turns on a video camera and asks you to blindfold yourself, probably don't do that. ( Via .)

Poor dude's just sitting on the porch, reading his book, when his hilarious girlfriend slaps him with her bloody tampon. Ha-ha! But she was just joking! Honey? Well, suffice to say honey's not laughing.

The dummies at New York's CW local news affiliate saw Improv Everywhere's “Best Funeral Ever” online yesterday and tsk tsk'd them on air, not realizing that it was, in fact, an April Fools joke in itself. But who are we kidding? Everyone knows the CW news should be exclusively strictly covering the Gossip Girl catfight beat.

While this may be a poorly disguised attempt at achieving viral infamy, we're nevertheless floored by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz agreement to a “prank” in which he ends up drinking his own urine. If only the real prank were that he didn't actually father a kid. There isn't enough money in the world to save poor Bronx Mowgli from a dad so humiliating, he swigs pee and wears Clockwork Orange eye make-up for attention.

CELEBRITY BUZZ: You though the Internet was all about bacon, the pork product, but actually it was about Kevin Bacon — who introduces his own prank show (walking the footsteps of Ashton's Punk'd , OJ's Juice'd and the upcoming amazingness that will be Howie Do It — yes, that's Howie Mandel).
