Hah, what better way to deliver an easter egg than with silence as soon as it appears. I feel like there should be an accompanied "eh! eh!" flying over the screen.
I admit to having sat in it for a good while to get my authoritative-regal-gaming-pimp-Daddy on. Some random person took a picture of me in it. *baffled*
A lose lose game, where if you don't hit her, you're considered a "pussy" but if you do hit her to 100%, you're an "idiot." Good thing I moderately slap my bitches.
But really, I don't think they understand how to run a campaign over there...
@Covert_Knight: I think the point they were trying to make is that if you respond to someone verbally berating you by hitting them, that you're an abuser and need help. A healthy person removes themselves from a situation like that instead of choosing to respond with violence. They just made their point in a really, really, *really* bad way (I find even referring to the woman as a "b!tch" to be objectionable and degrading).
Ask a group of guys whether they'd prefer being called an idiot or a pussy and see what they say. The absolute worst insult you can give a man (a young man still unsure of himself, anyway, which is who this campaign was supposedly aimed at) is to call him a woman. Basic male psychology fail, Denmark.
Yep, this was a bad idea. Violence (particularly against women) is so pervasive and downplayed, and violence and sex are so closely intertwined in our societal makeup, that a lot of the people this is supposed to be informing are going to see this and either think it's funny or a turn-on.
I read the Google OS won't have a hard drive, and instead will have a internal flash drive as well as storing most of your information online.
Yeah, that's exactly what I want is my personal information available for the company to scour and hackers to crack. They can say it will be secure and private all they want, I'm not buying it.
@Strangelove: You have email yeah?
And possibly a facebook account or similar?
Maybe a youtube account, or flickr account?
You use Google, Bing, Yahoo?
If you answered yes to any of those, or similar features. Well done your privacy has been breached, by yourself.
You are one of 6.8 billion people on this planet, I don't think Google find you particularly important or noteworthy to them unless you have a IT start-up company. So don't worry, you'll just be some random numbers to them.
Don't care. I don't need any more of my information stored on the internets. I fully realize there is personal information stored on a myriad of websites and services. But here's another problem: What if your internet is down? What access to your computer and information do you retain? Moveover, I don't like the concept of web-based storage in general.
@Orionsaint: Never! I hate having to rely on someone else for my OS to run, what if they get hacked? What if they go down? What if they lose all their data? NO! I rather be safe knowing that I could still run my computer on my terms.

Why would I beat her?
