Flappy Bird takedown

FLAPPY BIRD TAKEDOWN

I see the new official line now is that the owner took Flappy Bird down because it is "too addictive."  To be sure it is but that is the first time I've seen that as a reason for taking down a game (something so easy to learn should not, we think, be so hard to win -- hence the addiction as it hurts our egos).

My first reaction was that the Vietnamese authorities advised him to take it down out of their concern for the welfare of the human race.

By the way, I always thought he should have been called "Floppy Bird," since it is obvious he can't fly.
