IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL USERS OF WINDOWS XP

Microsoft XP is pretty weak at protecting your computer from viruses. It also crashes a lot. So, Microsoft has sent a notice to all XP users with important information.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL USERS OF WINDOWS XP


It has recently come to our attention (after reading thousands of letters about how Microsoft totally screwed its customers) that there may be flaws in our XP software. More importantly, its recently come to our lawyers attention that we have to do
something about it. These minor flaws have, to date allowed hackers to steal hundreds of
millions of dollars from the 50 million plus XP users. While this amount is an insignificant pittance when compared to the hundreds of billions of dollars Microsoft made of consumers such as you, and equally insignificant when compared to the personal $49 billion of Microsoft founder William H. Gates, we’ve nonetheless decided to get around to finally doing something about it.

We are pleased to announce that we have just released Service Pack 2 (SP2) with the hope it can undo some of the flaws that were loaded onto your computer when you downloaded Service Pack 1.

Be assured that SP2 will cover many large security holes. Any new security holes that it will open will most likely be smaller… or at least different. We think.

SP2 will feature enhanced security features. It will automatically take all your financial information, including credit & debit card info and bank account numbers and put them in a special unnamed folder. Anyone hacking your computer via the internet will just see a folder marked $$$$$$. There will be no hint as to what kind of information is inside!

Should any virus or worm manage to infect your computer, SP2 will immediately crash your system to prevent any theft of information, while simultaneously notifying Microsoft, so we don’t download the icky virus onto our computers!

A robust Automatic Pop-Up Ad Blocker has been added! No more strange ads from companies offering you shady deals on mortgage rates, life insurance and inferior products that compete with ours!

And finally, SP2 will set your computer so that it will perform more efficiently and download updates automatically! We think.

Worries about downloading SP2 are groundless because we are already working on SP3, which will undo the further damage SP2 will do to your computer. Preliminary plans for SP4, SP5, SP6 and SP6.5 are already in the works!

Barbie's letter to Ken

Barbie and Ken broke up after 43 years together last year. This shattered the hearts of millions of devoted fans (notice I say devoted and not particularly bright). Now, from the hidden Barbie archives of the CIA, a break up letter has emerged! Here is the break up letter by Barbie to Ken: -

Dear Ken,
It’s over. After 43 years of waiting for you to commit, I realized I wasn’t getting any younger. Of course, I’m not getting any older either. But I still think it’s time for us to see other dolls and action figures. It’s time to play the field.

Since we started dating I’ve been a fashion designer, an astronaut, an animal doctor, a rock singer, an actress, a painter, a fire fighter, a palaeontologist, a pilot, a Marine, a lifeguard, a ballerina, a dentist, a stewardess, a sales clerk and a candidate for President. What have you ever done?

Being a plastic boy toy is no way to spend a life, Ken. It’s time for you to get real.

I still remember the night I came home early to our hot tub and bathworks playset, and found you there, naked with G.I. Joe. You said it was innocent, that you’d only stripped off each other’s clothes because kid drew all over them in purple marker. And I took a chance and believed you. After all neither of you have a -----. But I had doubts.

Then, after I found a pair of raggedy panties in the glove compartment of your convertible, I had some major life decisions to make. Decisions harder than “strawberry lip gloss or cherry?”

And I came to realize that I have some self esteem issues. I’m famous, I’m rich, I’m an icon, and still I can’t get a marriage proposal out of you after 40 years. Who do you think I am? Oprah? A girl can only stare at her disco lamp, her slide n’ splash pool, her karaoke kit and her other 43,000 items for so long.

We’ve grown apart. You’ve always treated me like I’m some kind of interchangeable bimbo, as if there are a billion other dolls out there just like me. Haven’t I always maintained my perfect 10/10 figure? Or am I just some kind of hollow plaything/ How I’ve longed to hear those three little words from you, Ken, and I don’t mean “I need biceps.”

I need some shelf space. I feel like I’m suffocating inside a small cardboard box. I’m in pain, Ken, and not just from holding that same blank expression since 1961. I still have fake feelings for you. My love once burned as brightly as the 3-watt bulb in my oven. This break up doesn’t have to be forever. After we’ve had some time to think, after we’ve discovered where our lives are headed, and especially after the marketing department of Mattel milks the everloving piss out of this, we’ll get back together. Probably just in time for the holiday season.

Party on,
Barbie
