This was emailed to me yesterday... I'm not sure what to say.

We're in crisis mode right now, doing what we can. We'll try to update you after we consult some legal help.

Legal help as in you guys really need to be a tad bit more creative when pulling an April Fools prank?

Come on EuroBricks tried to pull one with the so-called Lego Baywatch using a "news" announcement.

Product news and a fake newspaper clipping. :roll:

First I was actually shocked, but then I slowly began understanding something was wrong... The date!

Heh, good one!

The funny thing is, we'd be running around like chickens with their heads cut off if that was posted on the 2nd or the 31st.

Guys, this is a very serious issue. Do you think we would kid around like this? Would you have preferred delaying this announcing this to April 2nd? We received a notice from a spokesperson at the LEGO Company demanding the immediate removal of Classic-Castle.com. We will be sure to give you all a 24-hour warning if Classic-Castle.com is to be shut down.

Nathan, the last bit about removing CC totally destroyed your whole "scheme". :)

And to think I trusted him!

And he sold it to Mega Blocks... Some people will do anything for money...

Well, if CC is to be shut down, we should all spam and double-post as much junk as we can...

I'm conflicted. It's April 1st, but the newspaper article looks authentic (you can see a black line separating it from another article, where it would have been cut out). So, in the words of MaxiVisVires:
