It's a joke. Read the bullet points in the "Tips to Get Involved in Your Community" section:

* "HELP elderly folks cross the first part of the street and then encourage them to get across the rest of the way on their own!"

* "DON'T desecrate that statue even though you'd gain tons of street cred!"

* "START a lemonade stand but immediately go "Out of Business" to draw attention to wealth-destroying minimum wage laws!"

Have at it, kids.



I bet it’s a joke as well, but it’s not witty enough to work as a joke, the “inside jokes” should make you feel clever and exclusive when you see them.

And I should know, I’ve been falling flat on my face trying to be clever on the Internet for years.


You don't remember this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burger_King_advertising#Kids_Cl...

That kid in the wheelchair? His name was Wheelz. Not kidding.


HAHA that brings back memories.

I would imagine most of the HN audience was born after those characters were popular.


looks like they hired the same artist


I think they feel clever and exclusive because of all the HN readers they tricked. You're not always on the inside of an inside joke.


Seems like it'd be obvious, but I guess not. It's very clear some 90s kids sat in a room and thought, "You know what'd be hilarious? If we did our own version of the BK Kidz Club." Probably were also on under the influence of something.


Where did you find that? I'm not seeing that content.

The song is very special, however.

[edit] nm, it was under the 'games' directory:

That's definitely one of the better company April Fools type jokes I've seen in a while. [/edit]
