Controller Inheritance, Ember, and me.

ember_controller_inheritance.js

RoflCopter.ApplicationController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  sharedBehavior: function() {
    return "A winner is you!!!";
  }.property()
});


RolfCopter.AnotherController = RoflCopter.ApplicationController.extend({
  importantStuff: function() {
    var ohBeehave = this.get("sharedBehavior");
    if(ohBeehave) { 
      alert(ohBeehave);
    } else {
      alert("FML");
    }
  }.property("sharedBehavior")
});

I understand that this same thing can be achieved with 'needs' but this seems counter intuitive that this does not work to me.
