So I Open Up My GameCube Box...

and these little cards fall out all over my living room floor. I pick
them up and notice they have elaborate artwork on them. Some with
little pink triangles and others with purple, stylized symbols for man.
On the reverse side of each card is some wording that says "Now that
you've become one of us, please call (800) 555 - 6969"

I thought the "become one of us" referred to me joining the ranks of
GameCube owners. Boy was I wrong.

I called the number, expecting to register my GameCube online when a guy
who sounded like a cross between Charles Nelson Reilly, JM J. Bullock
and Rupaul answers with a resouding "HELLO AND WELCOME TO HOMOS R' US
!!!". I hung the phone up.

I was a bit stunned and somewhat shocked. Clearly I had misdialed.
After cracking open a beer to calm my nerves a little, I redialed. The
same guy answers the phone again with
"HELLO AND WELCOME TO HOMOS R' US !!!".

I said, "Uh, excuse me....isn't this (800) 555- 6969?". (S)he replied,
"It sure is sweetheart !".

"I thought this was the place to register your GameCUbe".

"Oh, it IS ! And we like to refer to it by its *real* name, here.
THE GAYCUBE"

I hung the phone up, packed the Gaycube...er GameCube, threw it in the
dumpster, poured lighter fluid on it and burned it to a crisp. I wanted
nothing further to do with that box. I was outraged that Nintendo would
align itself with such a cause. I mean, I had my suspicions that
Nintendo was a little on the fruity side with Hello Kitty consoles and
hot pink GBA's. But never in my wildest imagination did I think they
would do something like this.

I'm going back to the Xbox. A console for a real man. I advise the
rest of you to do the same.

Hahahahah, I agree with all but the last paragraph.

Nice imagination.

Do you realize how foolish you sound by saying a video game console makes
you a man? You're such a fagot.

The xbox is an outdated cheap piece of pc hardware.
Its not a console, its a piece of CRAP.

Me thinks you can't like your Xbox that much since you spend the bulk of
your time posting silly messages here and not actually playing it.

Stinky, would you please come and pick up your boyfriend, he's trying to get
me to shove an Xbox controller up his ass, muttering something about how he
likes "big ones".

Y'know it IS somewhat interesting that stinky chooses a big, hard, black
throbbing console instead of the Gamecube... :)

Well, certainly anyone WITH half a brain wouldn't go calling a number which
begins with "555" seeing as how it's common knowledge that none of those
numbers are real. "555" numbers are reserved for phony phone numbers to be
used in movies and television shows.

Shut the fuck up, Jed.. You don't know anything about being a real man.

Maybe I should come down to Georgia to your trailer park so I can beat you
with a folding chair! You know all about that kinda violence.

Don't talk to other people about being a faggot when you spend your days
watching sweaty men in tight clothes fall all over other sweaty men..
FUCKING QUEER!

In reply to the original message. I do not think it was nintendo
behind that.

The gamecube boxes are EXTREMELY easy to open. I opened one at the
store, in fact. no external wrapping at all. anyway, someone could
have easily stuffed that stuff in the box.

i'm sure nintendo wouldnt have done that. If they did, they would have
put it in ALL the boxes.

Whoa. Don't tell me you fell for Stinky's idiotic story.

BTW, there's this bridge over in San Fran; I could let you have it for a
really fantastic price. LMK. ;)

Best,

Um, after reading you're post, I have concluded that either:

a.) You really suck at sarcasm

or

b.) you believed stinky's retarded post.

I sure hope it's the former, for your sake.
