Xbox 360 is like underage pregnancy -- very popular with teenagers photo

The Xbox 360, along with cocaine, curbstomping grannies and the aforementioned pregnancy, is incredibly popular with teenagers. This is according to a recent poll in which Microsoft's highly reliable and robust system was shown to be more popular among youths than its rivals.

Of the 4500 teens polled (insert joke about "polling" teens here), 39% wanted a console on Christmas Day. It can be assumed that the other 61% have already stolen their desired electronics for the year. The 360 was the most desired console with 20% of votes, while the Wii earned 19% and the PlayStation 3 only 15%.

The snot-nosed bastards were surveyed via online hangout Habbo, which sounds a bit like "hobo" and "Haribo." That's pretty much all I know about Habbo.

I don't know about you, but to me this sounds like GREAT news to PS3 owners.

Obviously these people were on Habbo, therefore they are retards or trolls.

Isn't it just tween girls and paedophiles who play Habbo?

I dislike the PS3, but I'm incline to agree.

Please tell me the 'gentlemen' in the picture were shortly struck by lighting?

Cocaine popular among TEENS? Whoa UK must be really bad then... just like that "Justice - Stress" video... At least over here alcohol and weed still seems to be the get fucked up choice among american kids.

It's just like that. Weed and alcohol to pass time and then when you come to age that you can enter bars and clubs - past the 20's - then you feel the need of an upper like red bull with whiskey or just good ol fashioned cocaine.

Get that cool movie Jimmy named The boys and girls guide to get down. Youll learn a thing or two... not that you will use them thou...

I didn't think much of it until it said habbo.

That immediately disqualifies this entire "investigation".

It's like going into hobovilla, then saying that 99% of people are hobos.

That's why I love the PC, among other reasons. Generally, the more expensive or complicated a toy is to use, the fewer 'tards you have using it. Overall though I think I've had a better Live experience than most, seeing as I stay away from Halo, Gears, and CoD.

Well, that's the bottom line (and there is only a BOTTOM line there, well, OK, a 90% of bottom) to what is XBOX. To what is Microsoft as a whole, now that I think about it. This is, by any means, normal adolescent behavior. And I'm not talking about the physical age of most people on XBOX. I'm talking of the extreme adolescence governing every move that entity has ever made...

Just take a look at Cliffi B. FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!!

Say Jim,

How is a pint of Carling Lager? I don't think that my local Wine & Spirits sell it.

...Ok, now I'm thirsty.

Wow...I went into Habbo Hotel once a few years back. All I ever saw ANYONE say was "Wanna cyber?"

Seriously, why would you bother asking these people anything at all?
