• Well folks, we know April 1st wouldn’t have been the same with something special, so we hope you enjoyed yesterday’s edition of News Askew. As about 60-70 % of you figured out, yes, that site was indeed a hoax, as were the redesign rumors. We’ll be sticking with this look for a while, and yes, we know better than to go Homer Simpson-style animated GIF crazy.

Did ya miss it? Wanna see what it looked like? Click HERE for the April 1, 2003 News Askew. A lot of folks are also requesting the classic PTA Central page we did as a joke a few years back. Well here ya go, folks. Click HERE and enjoy.

Some of you actually seemed to like the “new look”:

• “This site is really cute, guys! I love the kitties and the dancing hampsters are really cute! Keep up the good work! This is so much more appropriate for all ages!” -Kailin
• “I love the new site, especaly the monkey pointing at the head lines. Don’t change a thing.” – Jonathan
• “I like it but it makes me sad, cause youre gonna change it back to the old shitty version again tomorrow arent you? Do the right thing. Leave the monkeys.” -Nicholas
• “HAHAHAAHAHAHA! I especially love furby, it gives a classy edge to the site. Avant garde. Now, you just need to change the site’s name to newsy askews!” – Liz

Some hated it. A lot.

• “Oh, lord the pain. When does the hurting stop?” – FatMatt
• “By the way… I NEVER want to see Kevin and Company sink this low EVER again! If Earth isn’t Hell, then this new re-desing surely is!” – Dan P

And others, well, just, uh…

• “Hmmm… I’m not loving the look of the new site. Looks like someone’s personal website they’ve made with Frontpage Express. It just doesn’t feel View Askewish. Maybe the addition of some of the cartoon Clerks characters like the old site would assist in that.” – Chelle
• “sweeeet sassy molassyy this is almost as good as two naked midgets having sex with the hippos in the house game.love it so me love yous loooooong time” – Todd
