However, anyone who clicked on the ticket sales link was forwarded to an Instagram picture with the caption \u2018Gotcha! Happy April Fools\u2019 Day\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vitas is a Russian singer known for his 2001 music video \u2018The 7th Element\u2019, which went viral in 2015. In it, the silver-jumpsuited entertainer makes a variety of weird expressions and body movements while showcasing his impressive range. His performance has inspired a host of animated gifs and memes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t_I5YfftJSk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Cruelest April Fools\u2019<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prank may have scored over 500 likes, but some people were less enthusiastic. \u201cWe received an email telling us it was a \u2018lousy joke\u2019, while someone on Facebook said it was the \u2018cruellest April Fools\u2019 she had ever encountered,\u201d says Studium Generale\u2019s Rose Korver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe underlying idea was that it would generate more traffic for our page.
