【新唐人2011年4月4日讯】4月1号是西方愚人节。3月31号这一天，可以不分男女老幼，互相愚弄彼此娱乐。而大陆的《网易》网站也借着这个机会，推出挖苦当局、针砭时弊的网页，虽然网民们一片叫好，笑成一团。可是，中共却开不得玩笑，网页马上被删除了。
《网易》4月1号推出的《幸福时报》创刊号，头版头条新闻是“玛雅预言”被破解！2012年大灾难只有中国人可以逃过这一个劫难。
这条新闻开玩笑说，中国人之所以可以避过灾劫，是因为多年来经受黑心棉被，三聚氰胺奶、苏丹红、地沟油、敌敌畏火腿、甲醇白酒、甲醛啤酒、二恶烷洗发水的历练，加上有古老的中医和周易护体，早已进化成了一种与人类截然不同的，刀枪不入，百毒不侵的全新物种。
此外，《创刊号》还分为社会、民生、万象、体育、文化等8大板块，其中“社会”栏目说，“房子太结实太便宜，市民拉横幅要求强拆”；“万象”栏目说，“购买中国货热潮席卷全世界以及中国人含碘量超标笑对核辐射等。”
《网易》、《幸福时报》创刊号，恶搞中共当局，立刻引来网友的围观。网友直呼《网易》太给力，将中国当下的社会弊端展现得淋漓尽致。但是，这个愚人节玩笑却惹恼了中共，网页几个小时后就消失了。网民还担心网易编辑会被警方邀“喝茶”。
大陆独立评论人士昝爱宗：“网易这种还是很迎合网民的民心的，但是他删掉了，说明还是政府在背后起作用，但事实上，你删掉的只是一时啊，你删不了老百姓的嘴啊，你这里删掉了，那边又传播了，本来只有一百个人知道，你删除这个事情可能让五百个人，甚至一千个人知道这个消息，就是删除本身反而是一种传播，删除了好多人会更感兴趣。”
事实上， 愚人节前后，大陆网路论坛上很多自称“愚民”的网民都借此大侃“愚话”。
在这篇《我们老百姓每天过的都是愚人节》中，作者包诸左写道：“盐王爷、药家鑫、毒奶粉、瘦肉精………敢问苍天，这都是送给我们的愚人节礼物吗？”
作者感叹：“活在中国，每天都是愚人节。每天愚人的人花招频出，百玩不厌。而屁民们扮演的永远是被愚的角色。”
《中国青年报》在愚人节这天，也刊登了大陆著名评论员曹林的文章《权力别逼着民众过愚人节》。
曹林在这篇文章指出，权力愚人现像在中国社会非常普遍，而且呈现出制度性的特征。
曹林认为，在丑闻被曝光后，官方政府部门的解释充满着愚人色彩。他说，在中国媒体报章，我们总是会看到一些明显是当局愚人的解释，如：坏事，都是临时工干的；出了差错，都是“技术原因”；下属犯了错误，永远都是个人行为，领导永远都是“毫不知情”。
曹林认为，政府部门掌握着新闻的发布权、资讯的解释权，垄断着话语权，说什么就是什么，所以他们敢于愚人。
还有，中共经常隐瞒灾难和突发事件资讯，理由是：担心公开信息后会引发恐慌，真相会引发很大的不稳定。
曹林认为，政府捂盖子才是引发社会恐慌的源头。愚蠢的不是民众，而是那个捂盖子的公权力。
另外，在民主问题上，曹林认为，中共以民众普遍素质太低而拒绝实行民主，也是把民众当傻子。
被政府部门的权力天天逼着过愚人节，天天“被愚人节”， 让曹林感到很不痛快。
在微博上，还有网友做愚人节13大调查：让读者猜猜哪句是真的。其中包括房价要降、工资要涨、减轻税负、医患和谐、食品有保障、核电站很安全、、官员公示私产、财富公平分配等，最后作者表示，以上都是愚人节玩笑。

April Fool’s: The Joke’s on CCP
On March 31, the famous Chinese website Netease
took the opportunity of April Fool’s Day
to poke fun at Chinese Communist Party (CCP),
which was embraced by netizens.
The page was soon taken down by the CCP. .
In its first issue, Netease posted,“Happy Times”
a news story on the Mayan prophecy about 2012,
where Chinese people would be immune to disasters.
As the news joked, the reason for their immunity
was the long-term exposure to toxic products
like the “Black Heart Quilt", melamine-tainted milk,
“Sudan red", dichlorvos hams, methanol white wine,
formaldehyde beer, and dioxane shampoo.
Add traditional medicine and the Book of Changes,
and they have evolved into a transcendental species.
The inaugural issue had 8 parts including society,
livelihood, diverse happenings, sports and culture.
Under “society", it said houses were so frail and cheap
that citizens put up banners requesting demolition.
In “diverse happenings", “Made in China" waves
swept globally, and high in body iodine citizens
of China were in no fear of nuclear radiation.
The Netease’s “Happy Times" first issue jokes
on the CCP concurred immediately with netizens,
who acclaimed that Netease did a great job
exposing China’s social darkness.
However, these jokes did not sit well with the CCP
and the page vanished a few hours after its launch.
Netizens were concerned that the editor of Netease
would be invited by the police for a “tea.”
Zan Aizong, independent commentator:
“What Netease did was popular, but it was deleted,
indicating the effect of the CCP behind the scene.
You can shut down a page, but you can’t shut mouths.
Maybe only 100 people saw it, but news of it’s
deletion may spread to 500 or 1000 people.
They attract more attention by deleting.”
Around April Fool’s Day, many people in China
talk about “fool stories” on the Internet.
In the article “We folks live a fool’s day everyday”,
the author wrote: “Salt rush, fake drugs, tainted milk
powder, Clenbuterol lean pork… for goodness’ sake,
aren’t these our gifts for the Fool’s Day?”
He continued: “In China, everyday is fool’s day;
the items to fool people change on a daily basis .
The role of Chinese people is to be forever fooled.”
China Youth Daily published an article on April 1,
“CCP shouldn’t force citizens to lead a fool’s life.”
Commentator Cao Lin said, that it is common for
the authorities to fool people, it is institutional.
Cao wrote that after a scandal is exposed, authorities’
explanations are as ridiculous as April Fool’s deeds.
He said, in media reports these explanations
are presented as accidents due to technical issues,
or as subordinates being at fault.
The innocent superiors don’t know what’s going on.
Cao said that since the CCP monopolizes the press,
the resources and the right for interpretation,
they can say what they want, daring to fool people.
CCP consistently hides news on natural disasters
and accidents for so-called reasons of
avoiding social unrests and “maintaining stability”.
Cao argued that it is the regime’s concealment
which causes chaos, not “stupid people”.
It’s the ruling party who tries to cover up.
On the issue of democracy, Cao stated that the CCP
refuses democracy on the grounds of low literacy
in China. Just one example of its fooling of citizens.
Cao said that he is very unhappy of CCP’s effords
to make them live April Fool’s Day everyday.
In one microblog, a survey was carried out
on 13 April Fool’s items, asking readers to guess
what is going to happen: housing prices downfall,
salary raises, tax reduction, health care improvement,
food safety, nuclear power security,
wealth gap narrowing, etc. At the end, the author said
that all of the above are just April Fool’s jokes.
