[ WP ] In the movie `` Independence Day '' , the aliens invaded on July 4th , a day that holds a strong signification on why we should fight for freedom . Now the aliens are really invading and they do it on the worst day possible : April 1st .

The President Steps up to the Microphone: 
 
 Good morning. In less than an hour, comics from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest prank war in this history of mankind. 
 
 Pranking -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. 
 
 We ca n't be consumed by our petty jokes anymore. 
 We will be united in our common tomfoolery. 
 
 Perhaps its fate that today is the 1st of April, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom, not from whoopy cushions, itching powder, or buckets of confeitt -- but from glitter on our ceiling fans – seriously, that ’ s not a joke, aliens! 
 
 We're fighting for our right to live, to laugh at jokes that are ACTUALLY funny. 
 
 And should we win the day, the 1st of April will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day when the world declared in one voice: 
 
 `` We will not laugh at alien jokes! 
 We do NOT think glitter is funny! 
 We're going to laugh on! 
 We're going to show them the meaning of – APRIL FOOL ’ S DAY!''
