   Am I missing something here?  Is the idea to get everyone flouting the
   law and thereby render it ineffectual, or is it just April Fools?

   This is not how law works. If you break the law, but so does everybody,
   that's great for the police and whomever with them. It means that at
   any time "they" like you can get picked up and jailed, legally.
   Breaking a law everyone breaks is like giving the government a "send me
   to jail"-freecard. The government does not really mind getting those
   freecards, of course. Hence the bulk of outrageous laws.
