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]:
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
