    Voted the official slashdot car by CmdrTaco and his butt-buddy goatse, this car makes a bold statement by presenting true american luxury in a world filled with rice-rockets.

    Pre-order yours today and goatse will install an 8-track player with genuine, single-dashboard-speaker mono sound. He will also enlarge your exhaust pipe to unearthly proportions at no additional cost.

    Ok when did Bill Gates start posting as fadeaway? Basically your supporting the monopolistic industries, and only 1 or 2 companies should rule every industry. That completely destroys competition, and as a result is BAD BAD BAD for the consumer. Monopolies can drive up their prices to unGodly highs. You the consumer, would benefit from more solid companies, creating good product, increasing competition, and therefore lowering product prices for all consumers alike. Either your Mr. Gates, or the anti-consumerist. Oh wait, they're one in the same!

    Carlsberg don't make posts to Slashdot. But if they did, they'll probably be the best posts in the world.
