Best April Fool's Day prank: H&M x Mark Zuckerberg clothing collection

On April 1, H&M and Mark Zuckerberg said to everyone, "Joke's on you!" 

Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO at Facebook, has been known to keep his style as basic as possible. When I say as basic as possible, I mean that all Zuckerberg tends to wear are grey T-shirts and jeans. 

As a way to tease himself and make some people laugh on April Fool's Day, he teamed up with H&M and created a fake clothing collection that consisted of seven basic grey T-shirts and a pair of basic jeans.

The best part about this entire joke is that people actually fell for it at first. 

They made a website and a hashtag for the faux collection – #MARKFORHIM. The website aesthetic is, by no coincidence, basic.

Not to mention, the tagline is genius – "One less thing to think about in the morning."

Is it just me or does Mark Zuckerberg really embody the word "basic" when it comes to his style? How ironic considering he founded Facebook, a multi-billion dollar social media website, which is a not so basic concept. 

Eventually people realized that it was just Mark being Mark. 

It is safe to say that Mark Zuckerberg has one creative sense of humor.
