This is a gawd-awful, unadulterated, indisputable, unacceptable, gigantic, massive, un-be-freakin-lievable pile of pure horse sh*t! F' em all. I will not buy HD-DVD; I will not buy Vista; I will not buy a pile of monkey crap Dell or Sony or (dear God!) HP "media center" PC. They foist DRM on us; they foist software on us; now they foist sub-par, over-priced, offspring-of-customer-hating-manufacturers, one-size-fits-all PC hardware on us, too? It's too much! CONGRESS!!! Where the f' are you?!
It time for a revolution. They are going too far. The consumer must throw off his unelected, big business, political-influence-weilding, quality-of-life-defeating oppressors. They think they got it wrapped up? What will they do without our BILLIONS?
Yeah, right. If only we weren't all panty-whipped, "ooh, ahh -- look how pretty!" digital-coolness punk bitches. This is brinksmanship, and their betting that the HD-craving masses will blink first--or rather, "bitch and moan like an impotent jerk, then bend over and take it up the tail pipe" (Liar, Liar; copyright [insert imperialist oppressor] studios). And I'm betting their right.
