(Really, I never thought the whole YTMND "VOTE 5" thing would get as pervasively and seriously adopted by big corporations in the guise of "Subscribe us on YouTube! Follow us on Twitter and Facebook!" as it has. It makes the companies sound so very childish and desperate. At least YTMNDers were, or are, mostly playing around; this is the corps' fucking marketing strategy. Ugh.)
Even simpler, just make them behave like price-reducing, habit-tracking "club cards", except you don't even need to take them out or fill any name-and-address forms to get'em. "1 raisin cereal, $5.00, just $3.99 with your smartphone! No club cards to fumble with--just bring your phone in your pocket and you provide valuable marketing inf^W^W^W^Wsave!"
The sad part is that I fully expect this to happen, right down to the text of the message
I bet Sony does that sort of thing to their own grandmas' PS3s if they don't bake their cake or serve their sushi the right way. ERR325: invalid cake response--ps3 cannot start but it is still better than wii because they have mario and fuck mario
I can't find any info on that ad (if it exists). That said, should large media conglomerates be allowed to list multiple subsidiaries as supporters of measures in political ads like that? (This is just one of many problems with that sort of ad, but one I quickly noticed.)
Facebook would sooner court those reps so they can get laws to help them treat their users (and non-users--thank you, Like button) like the shit Facebook thinks they are.
It makes sense to me now! This mammoth business is a plot to lure Riko Tachibana to do porn again by giving her a rare and massive toy to play with. It all comes together (along with the viewers).
That's ok. At the rate they take down (or let others take down) videos and their audio tracks, and with how easily comments there yield silly one-on-one arguments (when they're not "%dislike_count% people %snarky_comment_about_dislikers%", outright spam, or simply dumb), YouTube is taking down YouTube just fine.
Fun while it lasted, I guess. Can't have so many GBs of homemade videos on a website forever...
I wasn't talking about the summary, which looks quite fine to me. In the press release, they call the system "a newly-developed rating system that six mobile application storefronts will voluntarily support as part of their application submission (or onboarding) process" (emphasis mine). That "onboarding" word is something I don't like.
If this is just an application of the same ESRB ratings to mobile games (which is suggested with "The CTIA Mobile Application Rating System with ESRB will utilize the well-known and trusted age rating icons that ESRB assigns to computer and video games to provide parents and consumers reliable information about the age-appropriateness of applications." in the press release), then this doesn't warrant a story, as smartphones and their ilk are computers (however hobbled by their small form and bad service providers).
If they'll instead use a new set of rating categories or descriptors, then it's wasted effort, as they could've just applied the ESRB ones to these games since they're becoming more and more like computer and console games (partly because, well, smartphones are computers). In this case, it not only doesn't warrant a story but does warrant a point-and-laugh for the repetitive noobs they are.
Also, slapping A Capitalized Slogan(R) in front of your name more than once per page, as if to be part of it, is highly loathsome and annoying; and I want to physically harm whoever made "onboard" a verb.

He came not to bring peace, but to write a bad review of those TVs on Amazon.
I thought they should use the Track OS too but they didn't listen.
They considered roping the solar panel duck to the phone, but tape was cheaper and more effective so they went with that.

I told those Swiss dudes to stop messing around with those damn bosons but they don't listen. My apologies on their future behalf.

I'd mod parent Insightful, not Funny (despite the intended joke), given what certain credit card companies did wrt Wikileaks and friends...
Oh, come on. His post's good enough for government work.

So you're saying "ignorant wooden-acting rednecks" don't count as "strange animals"?

Better question: Is licensing gun likenesses and other "IP" something EA even cares about, unless it's that of their games?
