Taco Bell and Xbox sitting in the tree k.i.s.s.i.n.g.

Man, how cheesy.

The xbox will be the fast food of the console industry. What should Sony do to counter?? Put the PS2 in a happy meal..Pfft. Cheesy.

This is perfect. Xbox is greasy and gives you gas.

Taco Bell is part of Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. which also owns Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken.  I\'m sure you can expect to see XBOX tie-ins at Pizza Huts and KFCs as well.  They usually do marketing like this in a coordinated way.

Hey at least it ain\'t McDonalds or Burger King!

As I was reminded at another forum, Sony did Pizza Hut/Crash ads....remember.

Crash would tell the guys how to eat their pizza and all that. Also you got demo discs.

Hmmmm....Could there be a Pizza clash:)

This is interesting - but I\'m waiting forward to see what Microsoft has planned into the northern europe - how are they going to advertize themselves here?

I think X-box will just get a TV-advertizement here, like Ps2 did. Nothing more, nothing less...

Well....In keeping with the food theme...

In Europe they could have an ad like...:

Save you burger money, get an xbox instead.....Besides, do you really want Mad Cow Disease?!

If bill gates had his way:

Clerk: welcome to McMicrosoft how can i help you?

Customer: yeah, i\'ll take a BigGates and a side of OS fries

Clerk: okay that will be 10.69$...will that be charge or cash?

Customer: charge

Clerk: okay, lets see here.......

Customer: is there a problem?

Clerk: umm..sorry..our computer just crashed and all i get is a blue screen...please come again when our system is MacOSX or linux based..:)

;)
. I\'ve said it before and I\'ll say it again, in terms of ingenuity, exclusivity, and console competition, X-Box brings nothing to the table except a fat wad of cash and some rehashed PC components wrapped with a DC controller and a plastic black box.----RYU

Customer:Yes I\'d like to get a Big Gates,with some extra Fat32 sauce.

Clerk:We now have the special NTFS sauce,it\'s more healthy and less likely to crash heartbeat.exe

Customer:I don\'t care,Fat32 goes with anything,I like the combatability.Give it to me.

Later that day the customer was taken to the morgue,heartbeat.exe had caused a fatal error.


Fat32 sucks,Don\'t use win9x,get NT/2000/XP and use the NTFS file system :D

I also get a feeling Tampon will partner with microsoft for xbox:

Tampon marketing director:"with this partnership we hope to aid those people who will suffer bleeding from the anal cavity after they get screwed when they purchase an xbox console..it our way of saying: it\'s okay"

LOL.:laughing:

Wow, that\'s the most unfunny, horribly demented thing I\'ve heard all day.

but the operetta lingers

and breaks his ****ing fingers
