Post by: Hawke on April 05, 2001, 04:18:54 AM: What the heck is that supposed to be? Somehow setting food and XBox next to each other, indicating that the XBox is as essential as food maybe?

Or : "Buy the XBox or we\'ll buy out all your food outlets, shut them down and let you starve to death!"

Or : "XBox, you\'ll spend so much time with it that you\'ll look like you would after 5000 of these burgers!"

Yes, with money you can do the silliest things, sheesh :laughing:

I agree Fastson. If that is REAL picture - then Bill definetely is desperate. That cheesy smile, that hamburger - and that controller ( wich isn\'t so big after all! ) together... Just, what is the point? :)

I don\'t think hawke\'s theories are right - but they sure are funny :D

Here\'s mine:
there should be an advertizing text wich would say:
When you get to play X-box, your life-style will change. In the future, you\'ll only play and eat, play and eat, play and eat... And worship Bill Gates *evil grin*

Or then, after all, it\'s a pepsodent commercial, sponsored by X-box :laughing:

Post by: Black Samurai on April 05, 2001, 08:02:47 AM: It looks like he is trying to show off how small the Japanese controller is. It is still going to be very big for the US and UK. If that is real it is very creepy.

BTW, Does anyone read Japanese? What does it say on the right?

Post by: EThugg on April 05, 2001, 10:40:32 AM: Despite the fact I prefer the XB over a burger (cause I\'m a vegetarian), this ad is really stupid. Of course, a lot of ads in Japan are really stupid, so I guess it fits in there. Come to think of it, US ads aren\'t that good either.... where was I going with this?... oh well, damn you short attention span! :)

Post by: Sublimesjg on April 05, 2001, 10:52:31 AM: yea i wish i new what the point of this ad was

non the less i don\'t think it isvery good - for the fact i pay more attention to the food than Bill or the controller - because they are more colorful

or maybe its because i haven\'t eaten yet today - yep thats it - well thats what my stomach said

Post by: politiepet on April 05, 2001, 02:49:13 PM: I think it means something like: there are two good things coming from America, hamburgers and xbox.

But on the other hand, a hamburger is not an American invention, it\'s from Hamburg in Germany, and whether or not xbox is good is a question that still remains!

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Hamburger was invented at the Erie County Fair held in Hamburg N.Y. in the early 1900\'s I believe (My home town)

as for the adveritsement, its obvious the Japanese are into some weird stuff.

Post by: datamage on April 05, 2001, 05:06:16 PM: hehe funny ad. I must admit the X-box controller doesn\'t look so bad in that pic. In all other shots it looks huge.

- dm
- what\'s in the f\'cking box?

.. maybe the ad meant that the x-box is so big you can use it as a table to eat? (ok ok bad joke)

Post by: Animal Mother on April 05, 2001, 06:48:32 PM: The translation of the text on that placemat is "which is tastier? Xbox or Cheeseburger DES NE!!!!" I believe. Somtimes a screw up verbs though. The reason why the controller doesn\'t look huge in that pic is because It\'s the Japanese model. The US model is as big as ever...

Post by: Crippler on April 06, 2001, 05:55:44 PM: Is Bill trying to sell X-Boxs this way!

More like making people throw up from seeing that devilish face.

All your burgers belongs to Microsoft..
