On April 1, 2007, Lerner changed the site as a joke homepage, it was designed to trick people think that the site had been bought and turned into "Google Animations". The joke was reinforced by a fake blog stating that "''Albino Blacksheep has been acquired by Google Inc. for roughly $32 million in stock options. The deal was discussed over a casual breakfast in Mountain View, California between the Canadian-born founder of Albino Blacksheep and the Google co-founders and CEO. Plans are underway for Google Inc. to tie its services and software into the former Albino Blacksheep website which will go by the new name [http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/archive/aprilfools2007 Google Animation].''"
