Parents Sue School After Pod Daughter Is Banned From Prom
With the prom season only a few months away kids and parents alike are starting to make plans for the big day. However, one girl's alien replacement might not get a chance to experience that special day if a school district has its way. Even though Darcy Swope's pod duplicate is virtually identical to her, the Santa Mira school district has decided she is not welcome to prom. School officials acknowledge the duplicate attended school and did Darcy's homework for an unknown period of time but say she isn't really a student and therefore doesn't belong at the dance. Darcy's parents disagree with the decision and have filed suit against the school, Her dad says, "We miss Darcy every day, but the thing that consumed her and is now pretending to be my daughter is almost the same and deserves to be treated the same." "She may not have that sparkle in her eye or the vocabulary as our flesh and blood daughter, but she has never missed curfew and has a thirst to learn. It would be a shame if Darcy II didn't get a chance to experience this important part of being human, even if she isn't one," adds her mother.
and all who attended.
You KNOW pod parents would sue.
And he article is shit. Complete shit.
It must have been generated by a prototype script.
I am a disappoint. No wait. Referring to me ...You are a dissappoint. ...
No, I'm the one typing. I is the one disappoint.
Yeah. Better.
Just substitute "scientologist" for "pod person".
With under 50 comments per spoof, you'd think those responsible would get the message that very few are interested.
But apparently not.
Oh well. See everyone tomorrow, when the site is over this.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
It's high time that we discuss the lack of Pod Diversity in the IT Industry. Over 50% of important US government officials are actually pods. But only 5% in the IT Industry. Although, they mostly hold managerial positions, where a lack of humanity goes easily unnoticed.
I believe this is because IT Workers are smart enough to use fire extinguishers to fight the Pods . . .
. . . or was that another movie, and I am getting confused . . . ?

Pretty please.
April Fools might have been funny for a while when the calendar was switched to Jan 1, but this is not even imaginative.
would rather read a 3D printer story than one more of these awful April 1st stories! I beg you! Just stop already!
Does anyone at slashdot or dice in general have any fucking clue what April Fools is about?
Its not about posting completely unbelievable ideas you stole from someone elses book/movie/tv show plot.
Its about doing something in such a way that you trick someone else into believing something completely unbelievable.
EVERYTHING posted to slashdot today is just fucking retarded. Not just unbelievable, most of it is just stupid, none of it is original, and not a single reader of this site is stupid enough to actually believe even the headlines to this stupid stories. They aren't clever. They aren't funny. They are just flat out lame.
If you approved one of todays stories, you should have your privs revoked immediately and more appropriate would be to fire your dumb ass, no sense of humor, annoying self in the name of making slashdot suck a little less. FFS, have any of you even fucking READ 2001 or seen the movie Firefly yourself? I mean not just heard about it from someone else, since you seemed to fuck up some pretty simple details greatly.

I'm triggered by this! How dare they treat this pod in any way subhuman! On behalf of all pods everywhere I call that we rise up and demand our rights! No longer will we be oppressed by the auto-humanarchy! Equal rights for pods everywhere!
I don't know if I hate Beta or April 1st more.
The entire concept is brilliantly META... with the actual joke being that Slashdot has ostensibly been taken over by uber-lame editors who have no clue what April fools jokes are. Haha... had me going!
Yes, it's like the Powers That Be on Slashdot aren't even trying anymore.
Many of you on Slashdot have been around long enough to remember the "OMG Ponies!" joke site that was foisted on us one year. Seemed like everyone at the time complained about how stupid that joke was. Of course, the joke ended up being on Slashdot (albeit several years delayed), since *now* cute cartoon ponies are considered "20% cooler" than ever before, thanks to the inexplicable cult-following of My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic.
May I suggest for a future Slashdot April Fool's joke, the admins try a reprise of "OMG Ponies" of sorts. Disguise Slashdot by making it appear to be a MLP fan forum site. Of course, approximately zero Slashdot members would fall for the joke, but if some Slashdot denizens were to, say, get their "brony" friends to visit this new, wonderful MLP fan site on April 1, at least the joke would be on them when they re-visit their new favorite MLP forum on April 2.
April 2nd can't come soon enough.
"Win treats sysadmins better than users. Mac treats users better than sysadmins. Linux treats everyone like sysadmins."
and I look forward to the day when all humans have been replaced by them.
Bring back the ponies - all the other Slashdot April 1 things have just been lame and remind me why I avoided this site for a couple of days last year.
Though this was a story from eclipse phase. And I was almost sleep deprived enough to believe it
That is all.

Religion is what happens when nature strikes and groupthink goes wrong.
What someone should do is just post outlandish stores that happen to be true...
Wait... Just repost from Fox and MSNBC....
