Google’s April Fools Day Joke Backfires
The Mountain View giant is usually very good at April Fools’ jokes. This year they didn’t get it right.Google’s “Gmail Mic Drop” featured a special “send” button, which ended your emails with a gif showing a Minion dressed as a king dropping a microphone.
“Simply reply to any email using the new ‘Send + Mic Drop’ button,” the company said in a blogpost.
“Everyone will get your message, but that’s the last you’ll ever hear about it. Yes, even if folks try to respond, you won’t see it.”
The way it was implemented confused many users though. Some used it in error, which caused serious problems.
After the blacklash, Google turned it off and updated the post with an apology.
