Whoever writes Tumblr's app update descriptions is gunning for a book deal.

The blogging platform released version 4.3.1 of its iOS app on Tuesday, and with it, an update description that reads like an Aaron Sorkin script.

The update sets the scene in a Tumblr board room, where CEO David Karp is demanding more from his hardworking colleagues. There's action, there's romance, there's a weird description of Karp's muscles rippling under his gingham shirt.

"The common man needs Tumblr now more than ever," Karp says, peering out over the Manhattan skyline.

The update offers nothing in terms of what's new with version 4.3.1. But hey, it beats "Bug fixes."
