    Why? I think it's funny. Actually, it's the first April Fools that they played so well along. (My memory might be lacking)

    The theme needs some tweaking (some headlines disappear, notably in journals), but one could keep it in the section grllz.slashdot.org and post computer/girl related stuff there. You know, like the announcement of a new Tomb Raider, or coverage of Ceren Ercen (I know she is retired by now), stuff like that...
