April fools outside a very small close group of friends is unbecoming.

I dont want my government to joke

I dont want my employer to joke

I dont want my client to joke

I dont want my supplier to joke

I dont want my religious leader to joke.

Why? Because the above aren't my friends. They are not invited into my intimate inner space of close knit relations. Furthermore I don't need a cheap laugh and I don't need someone to entertain me.

The pervasiveness of "joking around" in these settings is further evidence, for me, of our society's infantilization.
