By John Cook YouTube Did Not Think Through Its April Fool's Joke It's 1911 on YouTube! That's YouTube's April Fool's gag—push a little "1911" button on the screen, and you get an old-timey version of your video, complete with a piano-roll soundtrack. This joke is not appropriate for all videos. As The Daily Show's Daniel Radosh pointed out via Twitter, YouTube apparently neglected to anticipate the extent to which a mock silent-film treatment is not at all funny when applied to videos showing sad and horrible things. So video of your dad hitting himself in the face with the tetherball in the backyard set to ragtime music? Funny! Video of 9/11? Not funny! (While we were busy grabbing examples of how this trick can be misused, YouTube seems to have caught on, and removed the "1911" functionality from a bunch of 9/11 videos.) Anyway, here are some other not-at-all-funny April Fool's Day jokes from YouTube: What would the Japanese tsunami have looked like in olden-times? This one has little dialogue cards just like a real silent movie. Keystone Kops. This one is much improved. Share this:

2. Afghan Protesters Behead U.N. Workers

An Afghan mob infuriated by a Florida pastor's burning of a Koran last
month stormed United Nations offices and killed at least 10 workers,
beheading two of them. After noon prayers, hundreds of demonstrators
poured out of mosques and headed to the U.N. headquarters in the
northern Afghanistan city of Mazar-i-Sharif. After disarming the guards,
they entered the compound, where they shot and killed eight workers and
captured and beheaded two others. A police spokesman said 15 people have
been arrested so far in connection with the attack. Tolo TV news in
Kabul reported that the head of the U.N. mission in the city was among
those killed, but that hasn't been confirmed. The crowd was angry over
Florida pastor Terry Jones' burning of a Koran on March 20. Jones had
garnered international attention for threatening to burn a Koran last
September 11, then promised not to, but then went ahead and burned a
copy last month.
