While, as a developer, I love adding some easter eggs, I think this kind of joke is not funny and tarnishes the open source community reputation. An easter egg should make the user smiles and make him/her feels good and that the developer cares about the software. That one is just mean. While I can understand the developer making an error in not thinking it through and making the joke, the handling of the case on the forum should have been "I make a stupid joke, sorry, I'll make a fix right away, just rollback for now". To the people saying it's free software and the user is entitled to nothing, I'll just ask: "Is it the world you want?" a world where there is no trust and only the fear of being sued for money?
