Best description for aMSN package

Why is not this the description for the aMSN client package we see in all package managers!? It is the best I have seen yet.

aMSN lets Linux users communicate with associates on Microsoft instant messaging networks. In this article, we’ll show you how to Reach out to your friends in the empire.

From WINDOW TALK by Mirko Albrecht for Linux Magazine.

It would at least be more fun than the Debian repository’s current package description:

A very nice MSN compatible messenger application, aMSN Messenger is a multiplatform MSN messenger clone. Works pretty much like its Windows based counterpart. Perfect for keeping in touch with those friends who have not yet seen the light.

Reaching out to friends in “the empire” is exactly what you are doing with aMSN. But would it be copyright infringement to use Mirko’s phrase? I am sure he would not mind, but what about his publisher?

It may not be the most descriptive. But it is definitely one of the more fun ways to describe that program.
