Fanboys are among the stupidest people I know. Fanatics, politicians, wealthy spoiled heiresses... They have all pursued the path to divine stupidity. But only fanboys have achieved the holy grail.

It's like fanboys have found the perfect method for distilling stupid into its purest, rawest form. Then, using their own proprietary recipe, they add a special blend of eleven herbs and spices to mask any remaining logic, and then apply liberally over a tepid argument to turn it into a zesty flamewar!



Really I shouldn't have gotten so worked up I guess, especially considering I don't own any of the next-gen consoles (yet). But it's just so entirely baffling that a story about the PS3 increasing sales can be met with such... Anger. Geez, it's an inanimate object.

I think we're on the path to reverting 2000 years of civilization and going back to worshiping inanimate objects. =P

Disclaimer: The lol, new world order image isn't meant to imply that the PS3 will lead the new world order or whatever, I was more making fun of the fact that video games have usurped religion. Just in case you didn't get it or something. Of course you did though. =p
