==Humor== There have been numerous attempts to make fun of EULAs not being read.{{sfn|King|2016|p=1373}} Some EULAs bury a contract offering payment to a reader who notices the clause.{{sfn|King|2016|p=1374}} As an [[April Fool's Day]] joke, [[Gamestation]] added a clause stating that users who placed an order on April 1, 2010, agreed to irrevocably [[Deal with the Devil|give their soul]] to the company, which 7,500 users agreed to. Although there was a checkbox to exempt out of the "immortal soul" clause, few users checked it and thus Gamestation concluded that 88% of their users did not read the agreement.<ref>{{cite news|title=7,500 Online Shoppers Unknowingly Sold Their Souls|url=https://www.foxnews.com/tech/7500-online-shoppers-unknowingly-sold-their-souls/|access-date=24 November 2012|newspaper=FoxNews.com|date=April 15, 2010}}</ref> During the installation of version 4 of the Advanced Query Tool the installer measured the elapsed time between the appearance and the acceptance of the end-user license agreements to calculate the average reading speed. If the agreements were accepted fast enough, a [[modal window|popup]] congratulated the users for reading several hundred words per second.<ref>{{cite web|last=Willmott|first=Don|title=Backspace (v22n08)|url=https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1034132,00.asp|work=PCMag.com|access-date=8 June 2013}}</ref> ''[[South Park]]'' parodied this in the episode "[[HumancentiPad]]", where [[Kyle Broflovski|Kyle]] had neglected to read the terms of service for his last iTunes update and therefore inadvertently agreed to have [[Apple Inc.|Apple]] employees experiment upon him.<ref>{{cite news|last=O'Grady|first=Jason D.|title=South Park parodies iTunes terms and conditions|url=http://www.zdnet.com/blog/apple/south-park-parodies-itunes-terms-and-conditions/10043|work=ZDNet|access-date=24 November 2012}}</ref>
