Hanging out in the salad aisle to pick up chicks...
Found this on IGN about the new xbox 360, found it rather funny:
Yeah, we've covered the hardware, the games, the wireless capabilities and the overall greatness of the Xbox 360 as part of our daily countdown to November 22, the launch date of Microsoft's next-generation gaming console. But now it's time to talk about the intangibles of why this little white box is worth all the hype and, more importantly, all your dough. Reason No. 7: Chicks will dig you.
True, girls have been rolling their eyes since the beginning of time when the subject of videogames comes up. It is scientifically proven that 74 percent of women have been stood up by their boyfriends so they could finish a heated game of John Madden Football. But with a gaming console in more than one out of every three American homes, videogames are not only mainstream - they're downright cool. As such, here's the reason why girls will rush to be at your side once you purchase a shiny new X360.
Simply, chicks did guys who play hard to get. And believe you me, you will be hard to get once you power up Call of Duty 2 or Kameo for the first time. Here's the breakdown for a girl that, gasp, does not play videogames. First, you are going to meet a girl at the supermarket as you both try to decide which pre-packaged salad is best. But you don't eat salad. You just hang out in the salad aisle at the supermarket because, demographically, hot chicks eat salad. The aforementioned girl is going to find your witty remarks concerning the merits of romaine versus iceberg lettuce insightful, and, after she smiles and looks at you with longing, you are going to get her phone number.
On your first date you will go to the zoo, because there has never been a bad date that took place at a zoo. She will love your impression of the monkeys and she will snort Diet Coke out of her nose when you do the penguin walk. You will then talk on the phone for 20 minutes everyday for the next seven days.
Then you will disappear. She will call, leave messages, knock on your door and send singing telegrams to no avail. You are nowhere to be found. She will worry, she will call her mother; she will call her friends, she will call your friends. Coincidentally, your friends won't answer either.
That's because you are smack dab in the middle of Madden NFL 06 and Terrell Owens is going to score all over your friends even though they argue that you shouldn't be allowed to use the suspended crybaby in your lineup. The battles will rage through the night as you defend Stalingrad from the Krauts in COD2, grab tail in Amped 3 and evade the police in Need For Speed Most Wanted.
Still, she will wonder. She will look back with longing and affection, so much so that your ugly mug will actually appear more beautiful in her memories than it does in real life. Finally, after you've defeated all the launch titles you can afford to purchase, you will surface, and she will be putty in your hands.
And if, by chance, she happens to enjoy videogames, she is already putty in your hands and is camping out at Walmart right now, holding down a spot for the midnight madness that will consume you both at 12:01 a.m. on November 22.
If you were hoping for some tech-talk about the X360 hardware specs and our reason No. 7 isn't technical enough for you, then how about this: You can plug in your iPod.
