Ha, sounds like April Fool's really bothered some people. I actually missed it myself, I had some errands to run in town and then got sidetracked at a friend's place and ended up watching Youtube movies and playing the Xbox 360. Sounds hilarious though.

Chairman Fulp:

"Well, as of January 2009 China represents 298 million people with web access. If one tenth of one percent of them visited here each month, we'd have 298,000 more visitors. If just 1% of those new visitors bought t-shirts, we're looking at 2,980 sales and an additional $59,600 in monthly revenue."

One tenth of 298 million is 29.8 million. So "if just 1% of those new visitors bought t-shirts," that would be 298,000 sales and an additional $5.96 million in monthly revenue.

Honestly...

I liked the April 1st joke. I don't know if there will be many changes but Fulp's family is bigger now so Tom needs more money to sustain is little boy :P

Honestly...

Even though your math is correct, you misinterpreted what was written. One tenth of one percent = 0.1% = 0.001 so one tenth of 1% of 298,000,000 = 298,000,000 * 0.001 = 298,000 visitors. Now, 1% of 298,000 is 2,980 , which is exactly what was originally posted.

You just might have misread what he was trying to say....

I liked the other communist layout more, except for the China theme and satire, it was actually more making fun of instead of advertising communism but I guess that's what everyone here sees as April Fools.

sigh, sheeple

It was funny for the first few clicks but when I couldn't get at the content I wanted, then it became annoying and frustrating.

My reactions:
First few clicks = Fantastic joke. Perfectly executed. Thank you, it's done, can we move past it?
2 minutes later = !#@%ing jerks...
