A bit close to the bone here on MeFi, but otherwise, yeah an immensely topical April Fool.
I like the 'All Your Base' touch at the bottom myself.

heh. I have the images from last week's theft, and I considered changing metafilter to the stolen design's 123cheaphosting, but figured the wounds were still fresh and it wasn't funny yet. Jess' is hilarious though.

What am I missing? It doesn't look anything like MeFi. :::feeling left out, ennui, restlessness:::

I'm a big fan of "J. Lo needs a bra" and "Doesn't this angle just cream credibility?"

Well done, Jess.

Aaron: It's modeled after 123CheapHosting's new design, the company that stole Metafilter's design this week. Where've you been?

Oh. Duh. I never went back to look at their redesign. Meep. Thanks.
