Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the amusing-traditions dept.

spin2cool writes "Wired News is now accepting submissions for its fifth annual Vaporware Awards. These awards "celebrate all those eagerly anticipated gizmos that were put off, put away or quietly put down. And, of course, those that existed merely as a figment of someone's imagination."

    So tell us all, Mr. Wizard, why have WMD's if you're not going to use them?

    HMMMM???

    Especially when you're back is against the wall and there's no other way out. Saddam Hussein is a madman, right?

    So WHY DIDN'T HE USE THE WMD's?!?!?

    ANSWER: He never had them.

    Bush lied, and that's a fact.

    Right. They found him with one or possible two AK-47s and a pistol. He didn't even have a grenade. Nice Weapons of Mass Destruction. To quote Bill Hicks, "you can get harder shit on the streets of New York." He didn't even fire a single shot. Wow, what a ruthless killer, he was definitely a treat to national security. If he was a terrorist why wasn't his cell wired with explosives, that he could trigger to kill the 600 soldiers from the 4th infantry division as well as himself. Thus becoming a martyr and hero amongst those that want to kill Americans.

    Well, I guess your nanopenis would qualify as vaporware. Only I don't think discussing its vaports would be appropriate.
