No comments yet ? The "use less paper" woman is brilliant. But no April Fools Day joke can compare to a certain "Bible Salesman " whose been in the news lately.
There should be plenty of SolarPunk humor available, and it's certainly needed.
Most anything coming from any fossil fuel company marketing department today would be funny if it wasn't so serious... I have some old ads from the oil companies somewhere that I'll post if I can find them ....

Advertising from the turn of the century is humorous to anyone except an oil company executive in our era. The "guilded age" of big oil and big pharma still runs.

Found a whole feature from the Guardian on old oil company ads ... not really funny but it's a start. I'll keep looking...
