That's a Lot of Angry Birds

Mashable reports that the legendary smartphone game Angry Birds has been downloaded over 42 million times.  Forty… two… million.

Even more amazing though is that it earns over a $1 million a month in advertising revenue.  That's good news for all of you Angry Birds fans out there: Every time you play Angry Birds, you're helping the economy.

But we can help the economy more.

WolframAlpha says the current US deficit is $1.3 trillion.  So, if everyone just plays 11,000 times more Angry Birds, Rovio — the company that makes Angry Birds — could raise enough money to erase the deficit in one year!

Now, unfortunately, Rovio is a Finland-based company …which could pose a problem.  Not to mention that there's no reason for a privately-owned company to give 100% of their earnings to the government.  But those are just small kinks that we can surely work out.

For now, just go start playing even more Angry Birds.  For America's sake!
