Well, that's the first one that's actually amusing enough to make me
grin.
I think what's particularly nice here is that it doesn't seem to be a
joke at another group's expense. This script would be harder than some
of the others to construe negatively. As Perl programmers we ought to
know from personal experience the negative impacts of (being seen as)
spreading FUD.
It's essential, I feel, that the output of this nice marketing idea
gives a mature impression to people who see the videos.
