One young man inadvertently included the Minion GIF in an email response regarding a job interview. There are examples all over social media of the mic dropping Minion popping up in emails where he just shouldn’t have been. As is the case with this Google Gmail prank, April Fool’s Day can also have some horrible unintended consequences. Fun times.Īpril Fool’s Day can be a lot of fun. This year I covered my distinctly non-Trump supporting son’s vehicle with “Trump 2016” and a bunch of quotes illustrating the brilliance and wisdom of Trump like, “I buy a slightly smaller than large-size glove,” or “I love the poorly educated.” One of my all-time favorites was the year I crafted spoof emails designed to look like they were from the makers of the video game Spore, announcing that the kids had been selected for an all-expense paid trip to meet Will Wright-the creator of Spore-and get behind the scenes access to the game. We have done a lot of crazy pranks over the years. Actually, it’s a favorite of the parents-the kids are pretty much terrified. April Fool’s Day is a crowd favorite in the Bradley household. Unfortunately, many people inadvertently included the GIF on emails where such sophomoric April Fool’s Day humor is wholly inappropriate. Google added an option to include an animated GIF of a Minion dropping the mic-a cocky way the cool kids emphasize that they’ve had the last word and won the battle. Google is in hot water with Gmail users after a relatively harmless April Fool’s Day prank went awry.
