      Why are they even be promoted on OZB… Seriously April fool so or not seems like you 2 are in Bed already!

        Well it wouldn't be nearly as funny if it were taken over by a company that Ozbargainers liked..
        The whole point is to invoke horror and they truly hit on an OzBargain sore point!

          I bet Gerry Harvey (HN) will be pi$$ed when he finds out that we've been sold out from underneath him!

      It's a pretty good deal!

    • leon on 01/04/2014 - 10:50

      Interesting, the votes under NEW DEALS are less astronomical.
      Probably votes x (pick a number > 1); not votes x (pick a number) + 400.

      i know its all a joke

      but all this attention is free advertising for COTD

      is ozb getting paid for this

          True OzB never turns down free lollies. Good call Scotty.

          I think the question deserves a straight answer. If there has been any sponsorship for the branding or the vote tampering this should be disclosed. April fools morning is over in many states now and people were quick to call the joke anyway.

          There are a lot of rules here and the rules should be followed even during april fools.

          I am not suggesting anything inappropriate but I think you should be clear about this when u come clean re the joke.

        • Speckled Jim on 02/04/2014 - 09:59

          OzB staff did visit the COTD offices recently.
          Apparently they were good times.

    Although OzBargain is now part of The Catch Group, we will try very hard staying unchanged — being the independent voice of the consumers………..

    . Yet no vote down option???

      Our B. Overlord,

      We, the CatchBargain Community request that user 'rokkz' and immediate family members be banned from CatchBargain forever, for questioning the openness and independence of this site.

        Let's invade rokkz's home but say it's all part of his family's desire to be part of the COTD community. It works in Crimea.

      Once the excitement of the takeover dies down, I'm sure the language will tone down a little… give it a few hours, I reckon by about midday things will return to something more normal for this site.

    Some jokes just aren't funny.

    And I laugh at almost anything, including JV's crack fuelled rants.

    Frankly it would have been far more humorous if OzB had been bought by Harvey Norman, and then pricematched by Officeworks.

    • NosDan on 01/04/2014 - 12:38

      yea but i bet HN/officeworks wouldnt pay for the privilege of the free advertising/google rankings like Con Of The Day would….

      im guessing COTD's other motivation to play along with this is to try and win back some good standings with customers.

      april fools jokes are meant to be jokes… you know.. actually funny. just like most of COTD's stuff it just somewhat left a bad taste (the members posts however are awesome)

    Just brought the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Folio for iPad mini for $59.95
    See if COTD did more free delivery deals I would probably actually spend more!
    Then again this probably goes against those who went with the 12 month delivery membership scheme that was offered recently..
