12 of the last 20 web referrals have been from this forum. Julian, Rachel... any idea what's being said? Obviously it's something to do with the AF prank, but yeah...

Isn't that Chinese?

Not that I have a single clue, since my computer refuses to accept any kind of fonts at the moment, and therefore displays jack, but I see little Chinese flags everywhere... And my computer said I needed the Chinese language font to view the page.

I think that's Chinese, not Japanese.

Hahaha, mah man is silly! Ya'd think not seeing any recognizable hiragana or katakana on the page would be a dead giveaway. :P

Well... according to my roommate (from Shanghai), it's in Cantonese. Because of that, he couldn't translate everything that they said, but here's the gist of it (note that I've romanized the names in Pinyin, since I haven't a clue how Cantonese works):

"Mao zi" ("kitten") asked if anyone knew that Akira Toriyama was making a new DB series. The people there were skeptical, though, so Mao zi posted a link to our site, explaining that everything would be revealed there. The others were (to their credit) still incredulous, although "Bao zou xie" (err... "thug crab," or some-such) asked if it was an anime or not. "Kenneth GTO" basically said, "Not another DragonBall," while "stonecold" correctly surmised that AF = "April Fool's."

So, yeah... there you go.
