Thanks for that Matt.  When the name was announced, I remembered watching
that way back when, but never expected to see it again.  That's definitely
worse than "toad". 

The Hitler parody was also funny, although I'm a little disturbed to find
that I've been saying a lot of the same things, although without the
swearing and screaming -- and without the obsession with lolcats or bloons.


Even without googling the name, it's hard to imagine they could not know
that.  I guess it proves that there wasn't a single woman working on the
iPad project.  

Thre's no going back on that name now, is there?

 
Shalom.
