Men Arrested For “all Your Base” Prank

[Aaron]

An April Fools joke has seven young men in Sturgis explaining a punchline that the police say was no laughing matter. They put up signs that read "ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE MAKE YOUR TIME."

It's a phrase, interpreted, that comes from a 1989 Japanese video game. It grew into an Internet cult with many web sites and even a music video devoted to it.

The young men, ranging in ages from 17 to 20, found it and thought it was funny. The video shows the words "ALL YOUR BASE" on everything, including businesses. They explain they were just doing the same thing hoping to get a laugh out of people when they saw the phrase everywhere.

"We thought it was funny. I thought everybody else would think it was funny too," explains J. P. Wolf, one of the men who taped up the signs.

"It wasn't meant to be anything harmful," adds friend Kyle Woodward. "It was just a joke. We wanted to make people laugh and that was it. We didn't have any clue it was going to come out something like this."
