Digg Stack and Swarm Hidden Message

With the launch of Digg Swarm and Stack today, I decided to decompile the flash files and do a little "digging" (some pun intended). It is a very complicated file, but one thing stood out to me. It's a little reference to our favorite Senator, Mr. Ted Stevens.

Located in the contents of the flash file, you can find this section:

ASSetPropFlags(this, null, 1);
String.fromCharCode(Key.getAscii()).apiURL = "http://testapi.digg.internal/";
this.mode = "spy";
this.requestParams = {count: 10};
this.requestOffset = -10;
this.maxDigsPerRequest = 30;
this.maxStoriesPerRequest = 100;
this.attachRate = 100;
this.testing = false;
this.running = false;
this.wasRunning = false;
this.paused = false;
this.pauseDialogParams = {title: "Paused", body: "We\'ve stopped updating this screen with new information, to help prevent the Internet tubes from being clogged.", button_yes: "Clog on!"};
this.pauseRate = 5 * 60000;
this.skinPath = "skin.swf";
this.configPath = "config.xml";
this.timestampQuantize = 10;
this.updateRate = 10000;

There are three things that I found important. The best one is the message:
We\'ve stopped updating this screen with new information, to help prevent the Internet tubes from being clogged.

You can also see references to both skin.swf and config.xml, which are just files that are located on the server.

P.S. That message can be found in both the flash file for stack and swarm, and those 2 files exist for both aswell.
