The new break-up protocol?

Hey everyone. So I got this email today from an acquaintance (below). Is there a new trend of announcing break-ups, or what? I thought this was pretty odd (and hilarious).

“Hello Everyone,

C. and I are writing this email jointly to share some news with you. We thought it would be the most efficient way to let people know all at once. Due to my impending employment abroad, we have decided to end our romantic relationship. We decided this in hopes of making the transition less difficult. In the meantime, we remain friends and don’t want people to be freaked out if they see us hanging out together.

Should either of us receive any chocolatey baked goods in the mail, those could help get us through this rough time.

Thanks for your support.”

Edited to add: I realized this might be an April Fool's joke from the acquaintance, but I'm not sure. She doesn't have much of a sense of humor.

Very cute. Like those silly, full-page joint announcements made by celebrities.

I'd just send her an email saying I was very sorry to hear it and that since they'd probably melt in the mail, I would have chocolatey treats on her behalf while I lit a candle for her relationship. Two can play that game!
