It's not that the name is offensive. The definition of the word Payola, is not something you should want your product to be associated with.

Yeah, I know what the definition is. I just don't think it matters all that much.

In this case I don't think it matters because it's not offensive. Most people won't even make the connection to the other definition (I didn't know about it until now).

Thanks for making and releasing Payola!
