A Joke, a Poke and a Rebuttal

Joke:

A man doing market research for the Vaseline Company, knocked at the
door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children
running around at her feet.

"I'm doing some research for the Vaseline Company. Have you ever used
our product?"

She said, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time."

"If you don't mind my asking," he said, "What do you use it for?"

Mostly we use it for sex," she said.

The researcher was a little taken aback. "Usually people don't tell me
that they use it for sex. Instead, they tell us that they use it on a
child's bicycle chain or to lubricate a gate hinge and many other
things, but very rarely sex.

As a matter of fact, we know that most people do use it for sex. I
admire you for your honesty. Since you've been so frank with me, can
you tell me exactly HOW do you use it for sex?"

The woman said, "It's no secret and I don't mind telling you at all.
My husband and I have found that if we put it on the doorknob, it
keeps the kids out."

A Poke:

To all of those people that say that aren't gamers: Everyone is a gamer; You just haven't found your game yet. :)

 

And a Rebuttal to all my Grr comments from my eBay beta blog [just copied it here to make sure it is seen]:

Just FYI - These are the cheaters I am talking about "The cheaters are the ones who used the exploit to get in without even having a token, and IW is tracking them down slowly but surely and banning their accounts, so "justice" is being served." It's the ones that used the beta glitch. I know I started off on the eBay thing [which bugs me simply because everything is for sale nowadays] but it really is those braggarts that used the glitch that I am upset with. If you want to sell your token, yeah I guess it doesn't matter, I just hate the bragging about it. "Yeah, man, I totally duped IW and now all my friends have the beta....HAHA". I had offered not only my extra tokens, but my FIRST token to other people on this site. Offering your beta code to a friend is one thing - glitching the system to get in is another. My first post with a negative rating - WOOT - I should get an achievement for that!

COD4 Beta 2nd Profile Exploit: 23k used it, MS Fixed It and LIVE Bans for 24h - http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep/EElApVupyuSQVbmCxF.php
An internal Microsoft source sent us this exclusive info about the COD4 Beta '2nd Profile Exploit':

There was an exploit (it's been resolved), in the call of duty 4 beta. The public beta had 100k valid participants who qualified and were provided special tokens which allowed them to download the COD4 beta from marketplace.
There was an exploit that enabled valid beta participants to sign in with their accounts on a different machine, use their beta token and download the beta. The beta was then fully functional for any LIVE profile on that 2nd machine (even after the beta participant's account was removed). Approximately 23k consoles were used to take advantage of this exploit to illegitimately access the COD4 beta.

The exploit has been fixed to prevent any additional users from illegitimately accessing the COD4 beta.

The current POR is to issue a 24-hour console lockout that will prevent these 23k users from using their consoles to sign in to LIVE. These users will also receive a message in the dash with an explanation as to why their console has been locked out for 24 hours for violating the LIVE TOU [Terms of Use] and a warning that more severe actions may be taken if they attempt a similar action in the future (console could be banned permanently, etc.). Again, this is not a permanent console ban - it's more of a "slap on the wrist" and a warning to these 23k users who used this exploit

Since I'm the one you quoted in your rebuttal I'd like to clarify that I didn't ding you. I may not have agreed with your point (or as it turns out what I thought was your point) but I still found the comments worthwhile. I mean c'mom, you've got one of Tammy Faye's eyelashes. :D

Don't really care about the dings...or the difference in opinion. I just prefer for people to have balls and express that opinion if it differs. :D

Well, the rebuttal is about something totally different then isn't it? Glitching or cheating the system is one thing. Selling a commodity is another. Still not sure why selling a beta token is bad...
