Why You Can't Buy a Naked PC

ZDOne writes "A piece up on ZDNet looks at the issue of naked PCs. ZDNet UK phoned around all the major PC vendors and not one of them would sell a machine without Windows on it. IT professionals are being forced to adopt Microsoft's operating systems — even if they tell their PC supplier they want a system free of Microsoft software. On the other hand, even if it's almost impossible to buy a PC without an operating system installed, companies like Dell and HP are now committed to supporting Linux as well. 'Murray believes there is a market for Linux in the UK but is also aware of the issues facing any large supplier who wants to make Linux boxes available. "It means diverting production lines and that is a lot of money and so we have to prove the business case," he said. However, he made it clear that he is enthusiastic about the idea and wants to make it work. "We just have to show it is worthwhile," he said.'"

    Naked PC? Who needs a naked PC when you've got MY NAKED ASS. MY NAKED ASS is designed specifically for you to lick. It features crusty hairs, realistic ass sounds, and replaceable shit-cartridges.

    MY NAKED ASS costs $9.99 at your local Walgreens, and the cartridges happen to cost $300. Why are the consumables so much more than the product? We don't know, but that's a good business model....it's a shame no other company has thou--- Oh, wait.

    Anyways, the cartridges come in the form of 'food'. Shove the 'food' down the top of the unit, and the shit will come out randomly, while your licking MY NAKED ASS.

    Order now, and we'll try to swindle you into buying another product, called LICK MY GOD DAMNED NIPS. LICK MY GOD DAMNED NIPS is a realistic nipple-licking simulator designed to taste like a real nippie. We'll throw it in for an additional $5.99, assuming you can pay a refundable $12,000 deposit and use the equity of your home, as well as a car title

    DON'T DELAY, LICK TODAY!
