Oh, sure, funny-ha-ha. There's an Engadget Podcast Bingo app available
now, which lets you play a relevant game of bingo on your iPhone while
you listen to Engadget, Engadget Mobile, or Engadget HD podcasts
stored on your phone, or stream one live from your computer. It's full
of funny jokes. But you know what the thing is about humor? Every
humor thing has an element of truth in it. That's what makes it funny!
But that's also what makes it hurt people's feelings. Sure, you might
tap "Nilay Gets Fired" on your phone while chuckling quietly to
yourself, but how do you think it makes Nilay feel? Or when someone
accuses Chris of being "Paid by Apple," all Chris can think of is his
poor upbringing where he didn't even have shoes to wear, and how he
wishes someone would pay him for his mobile expertise. Or how when
someone in chat says to somebody "can you be quiet for another 4
minutes" just because they want to fill in another bingo square. How
do you think that makes that somebody, you know, theoretically, feel?
How much psychic pain are you willing to cause? Go ahead, download the
app, we don't mind. We're just robots, anyway.
