Compiler author with sense of humor

I'm doing maintenance on a bit of customer software, and it's written in BASIC. We're using the PowerBASIC command line compiler - which supports Visual Basic with extensions. While browsing through the help file to figure out how to do something, I came across the #BLOAT keyword. Intrigued, I found that these guys were taking a shot at Microsoft as part of the language.

Gotta love a vendor with a good sense of humor. (click the image for the whole help file entry)

Yeah, but does it actually work?

Yes, it really does (just tried it)

The fact that they implemented it is even cooler. Good for them.

The Flash animation logo on their web site had me mesmerized. Guess I'm easily amused.
