Redmond, WA - In an effort to boost sagging revenue growth, Microsoft today announced it will begin selling advertising space on the company's world famous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)©. The screen, displayed whenever Windows cannot recover from an error in the operating system's core, until now has historically served as a display of unintelligible diagnostic data that has not made any sense to anyone, ever, according to a survey conducted by the Gartner Group. In addition, the BSOD has scared most users because it was composed mainly of hexadecimal digits that, which in extreme cases, can lead to hallucinations, epileptic seizures and homosexuality in primates and rats.
Yeah, it's joke, but what the hell.:)

The new Domino's Pizza delivery guarantee,
"We guarantee to deliver a hot fresh pizza to your door before you can finish reloading Windows on your PC"
Just call Domino's and give them the special code in the upper right corner of your BSOD.

That's what I love about WinXP, the Death Screen is so much more attractive. J/K, I hate XP. 2000 is barely tolerable.
Did you know that M$ spent tons of money to find out what the most pleasant color was to display when their OS crashed? Apparently they came up with blue. You'd think they could've spent all that time and money on a FIX, so that there WAS NO BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH. Stupid Micro$oft.

If Bill Gates got thrown in prison he would end up the bitch faster then you can say BSOD.
