I found the Miss Teen USA comment in the 3rd article off-putting:

> There are cases where it is more fun if something is hard — like a game — but for everything else, we want it to be so easy that even a Miss Teen USA contestant could use it.

I followed the reference to the video of Miss South Carolina 2007 answering a very simple question, and was able to find the humour in how bad her answer was. I didn't think it was appropriate to insinuate that she is representative of all Miss Teen USA contestants though.



Agreed. I suggest: "we want it to be so easy that even a USA vice-president could use it" and link to The Tomato Incident.
