Following on from reports that the Xbox has been scuffing the edges of CD's slightly it has been given a worldwide ban, meaning the only place it can now be released is Mongolia, as the country does not fall under worldwide console regulation since it's expulsion last month.

All Xbox's sold will be recalled, and melted down, such is their danger.

Apparently any disc put into the machine becomes a lethal weapon of death and destruction. These disc's with scuffed or 'sharpened' edges are said to be able to cut through steel if thrown at speeds in excess of 40mph.

Further to this it seems that Halo, the only game everyone will buy for the Xbox, contains dangerous subliminal messages, encouraging children to attack parents and other family members with their lethal killing discs, much like "Children of the Corn". ONly given further subliminal messages encouraging gamers not to eat meet, they're more likely to be "Children of the Quorn".

Speccy geek Bill Gates confirmed this "Yup, it's true, I had planned to use the Xbox to create massive weapons of destruction (the sharp discs) and use my consoles special mind powers to encourage kids everywhere to murder to death everyone over the age of 21, and those that don't own consoles. I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you pesky kids!"

Bill Gates then ran off, like all villains do at the end of Scooby Doo.

Another shocking dangerous console report, that the Gamecube controller renders thumbs useless after 10 minutes, remain unconfirmed at this time, as it seems all that bought the machine didn't have opposable thumbs to begin with.

Why? I am merely referring to a subliminal message found on a recording by popular up beat 70's and 80's combo, Queen.

I am in no way expressing my personal beliefs.

In the best episodes of Scooby Doo the villian would try to run away, only get caught again by Scooby, often after slipping on the waste product of a dozen Scooby Snacks.

Actually I think they only tried to run away if the episode was going to be a minute short otherwise.

But yes, sometimes they ran, but indeed they always got caught again.

Sorry Meka, but at the end of every Scooby Doo episode, the evil doer is placed into the back of a police van, or led away, handcuffed.

What sort of message would that give to young, impressionable minds, if the evil man got away, time and time again?

(The Hooded Claw, Shredder, Krang... actually, I think Scooby Doo was the only one that actually had it's bad guys as people who be locked up, and STAY locked up.)

Christ, no wonder crime rates are so high. If only the cartoon makers had just locked the bad guys up, or killed them, thousands of 80's children wouldn't turn to crime. They're just thinking "Hey, Greyskull got away with it every time... I can get away with it too."

(Only because they wanted to milk the franchaises for all they were worth... money most certainly IS the root of all evil.)
