... But You Can Forget About Getting to RC1

Ok, so the above headline is a little out there if you don't care much for tech or follow software releases, but trust me, it's funny. I'm funny.


Kotaku, a gaming blog, had an enty on the above t-shirt. Now, I think it's clever in a totally nerdy, pimply, sitting-at-my-computer-playing-MMORPGs kind of way (NPSATCPMMORPG). But as saturation and marketing goes, only the NPSATCPMMORPG kids are going to buy it AND their friend(s) are probably the only people who will laugh at it. But what I find hilarious is the irony that is "... some styles up to 5XL." If you have to order a shirt in a 5XL, let alone have "I BETA TESTED YOUR GIRLFRIEND" screened on it, you're probably not going to be "beta testing" any girl anytime soon. Sorry for the reality check.

Badvertisements: Fighting For Brain Damaged Children with Leprechauns


I get it. Fitzgerald. You're both Irish. You're from Ireland. Ireland = green. That's why your ad's green. Cute. Oh, and that mascot of yours. You know, the leprechaun with the boxing gloves in that fighting stance? Why isn't he holding a beer too? I understand when negligent people harm children, there must be retribution (usually monetary, because that's the only way we'll feel better), but Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald subway ads are just as bad as "ambulance chasers." When your ad contains the phrase "$ Millions of Dollars $" in bold type font, you're asking for any project dweller with a kid with ADHD to call you up, so you can make up some mental disorder and blame it on the paint chips she let her child eat because she thought they were homemade Pringles. And I'm sure the 30% fee doesn't keep you up at night.

Oh and if you couldn't read the preceeding paragraph, ellos hablan español también. [Thanks www.freetranslation.com]
