Donald Trump has sparked a strange online debate after publicly offering UFC boss Dana White the White House press secretary job. However, some social media users are now wondering whether the offer may have been meant for an entirely different person.

    It’s a hard job, but someone’s gotta do it. Those letters ain’t gonna flip themselves!

      They’re not even flipped anymore. It’s just a button that turns the letter on and off. It’s kind of sad, IMO. The act of turning the letters was part of the appeal of the game.

        The fact that all of it could be done digitally proves that they understand the appeal. There’s obviously someone pushing a button to light up the correct letters, they could easily just reveal them instead, but you’d lose the slow burn time to guess words while the pretty lady walks around.

        “New Wheel of Fortune hosted by Hatsune Miku” could be a thing so easily, with a bunch of vTubers as contestants but I’m going to shut up before someone actually does this…

      She’s probably the most-experienced letter-flipper in the world!

      Surely letter-flipping technology was developed some time in the last 44 years.
