Google Reader Sez: You Have No Fun

Playing with Google Reader tonight, I used the Browse link next to the Add Subscription link to see what Reader recommends. They have four "feed bundles," one which is called "Fun."

I'm up for fun, especially when it means I'll get video from Stephen Colbert or The Daily Show sent to me. Both are part of the fun bundle. So I sign up, then I go to view my fun things. Oh no! No fun:

Google Reader: You Have No Fun Items

That cracked me up. I think I used the Show All setting to quickly bring Fun back into reader.

The entire thing reminded me of a classic Voyager episode when Seven Of Nine was in charge of a bunch of kids. She had them on a strict schedule, and Chakotay told her they also needed to have fun.

"I've scheduled recreational activities," she tells him, pulling up their schedule on the screen. In big letters, in a one hour slot, the word Fun is written. You can see it yourself here.
