This is their message:

APRIL FOOLS!

As many of you have already guessed, we are not really being sued. (That would suck if we really were and everyone thought it was an April Fool's joke though!)

For the first part of the day, if you tried to purchase something, it would always give the error "This item cannot be purchased because it is currently in someone else's shopping cart. Please try back in 15 minutes". Later in the day we decided to make all of the order buttons redirect to a page that said "April Fooled You!" (So no, we did not make any money from this!)

We hope you all had a great April Fools day!

As I expected, they did NOT sell their award. Actually, they did not sell anything. It was much more genuine than I thought, just pure, innocent comedy. Bravi.
