hey, folks, upshot about tumblr’s april fool’s day prank:

if you click the “executive suite trial”, you’ll go to a fake “executive suite” tumblr. it’s vaguely funny and you can esc out of it.

but this will also bring up a cartoon of a copy machine named “Coppy”, who appears to be a parody of “clippy” from microsoft word. this cartoon has flashing lights and is constantly in motion. it will also “talk” to you with a lot of text balloons in comic sans, which are deliberately designed to be ugly and annoying.

you cannot get rid of coppy.

if you hover over it, there’s a red X; clicking this will only cause it to “waddle” offscreen and, less than a second later, pop up again. it will not get rid of the cartoon.

if you are not interested in having a flashing, moving cartoon that is deliberately designed to be annoying on your screen all day with no hope of getting rid of it, do not click the “executive suite trial.”
