Negotiate, no, but understand before signing, it could be helpful. I hate to use an episode of South Park as an example, and yet... (Human CentiPad, NSFW)
Realistically, anything unusual in a EULA would not be enforceable anyway.

There's an image I've seen on the internet of a similarly named startup office in SF where there's a piece of paper taped on the front door telling passers-by that there is no actual food for sale on the premises.
