""Let then eat cake!""

18th September 2002: WASHINGTON:

Bill Gates today caused controversy, showing his complete lack of awareness in the console market, and the troubles facing Xbox gamers.

When asked by snooty reporter Arthur Spandex whether the Xbox seriously lacked the bread and butter titles to keep gamers happy he replied "Then let them eat cake."

Xbox gamers the world around are in uproar over the remarks that once again show Bill Gates to be seriously lacking in his knowledge of the market.

Michael McMichaelson a 24 year old trucker from Lanarkshire had the following to say "He's let us down, promised so much. Yes we have Halo, but what else? I'm thinking of getting rid of my Xbox, but I doubt anyone else here would want it."

Aslan the Lion, speaking on behalf of Sony Europe said that he would personally ship Playstation 2's to the disgruntled Xboxers houses at a bargain basement rate, but this too has been sneered at by the Xbox faithful, that still expect for GTA3 to be ported to their console in the future.

A nearby cakeshop was asked if they had noticed any upturn in trade since Bill's outburst, but the old lady that worked there just stared at me, like a rabbit trapped in headlights, before muttering something about young people these days.

They did, however, sell us some rather nice iced-buns.

I've just realised that spacky is a disgusting word.

Eurgh.

Weren't the peasants revolting because there was no bread, and smug Anoinette in Versailles told them to eat cake instead? Dappy French.

You need 10,000 words, 300 posts and to be registered a minimum of 21 days to become a Regular. I have all of them except the 21 days.

232 posts, 7720 posts to go eh? :0)

Good luck! :0)

Yeah, I noticed that all too late.

The "!" was also a mistake, though I'm not sure how I managed that.

Might have been the left hand going spacky again.

By the way, how many words do you have too type here to become a regular

Im not trying to be a big old smarty-pants, but your topic name is "Let then it cake" instead of "Let them eat cake".

Here's my thoughts on this topic:

This topic is good but the replies are garbage.

Translated from Spanish to English.

If I'm not mistaken then "Let them eat cake" was also the alleged response of Marie Antoinette to the French peasants. Donc il faut entrer dans l'espirit de la révolution

I speak better French that the Altavista translator... which is easier than it might sound.

Have a good time on Altavista translator?

Sacre bleu! La Gerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmans are anvading agin! Let uuuuus surrendar and aid dese people and then clllllaim zat we wun ze war.

My view of the French Resistance, completely off topic.

On the QT, though.
