You're missing the deeper point. This isn't simply funny. This is a summarization of what I feel will be Zynga's last miss-step. Having done and sold a social gaming startup and seen the rise/fall of the industry circa 2009, I think my comment merits introspection beyond whatever superficial connotations you're attributing to it.
I gotta say, if you're looking to cut costs, paying your CEO a buck is probably the most effective.
This article about coercive monetisation models shows why “repeating the success of hits like Farmville" is something we all could do without splendidly: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/RaminShokrizade/20130626/1949...
Thank you, too.
