And now, for Funniest Unintentional Joke in the App Store… the award goes to… ThroughPut Inc.’s NATIONAL THREAT ADVISORY!  (cue roaring laughter)

National Threat Advisory, or Threat Level for short according to the icon, claims to be querying the Department of Homeland Security for the current threat level in George Bush and Tom Ridge’s genius paint-by-numbers warning system. Whether or not it’s actually doing that is immaterial since pretty much everyone I’ve shown this to has either busted out laughing or chastised me for being a dumbass.

According to Threat Level’s description in the App Store, the National Threat Advisory system’s purpose for existing is “so that protective measures can be implemented to reduce the likelihood or impact of an attack.” Well that sounds like a job for iPhone users!

Attention all Americans, you must install this app on your iPhones immediately. Those not in compliance will be reported to the House Un-American Activities Committee which is still operating out of an underground bunker buried deep beneath Mount Rushmore.
