XBox 360 Sucks, too

     So, XBox sends me an email. Microsoft apparently wants me to enjoy using their crappy product again. "How come you haven't played XBox in 2 years?" Oh gosh, I think. Microsuck is right. I should try again. Maybe there are some fun games to try out. After all, Fuckroshaft didn't make all the games, just the shitty console that broke for just about everybody who owned one.
     So I go to the site to log in, and I'm all jazzed up to see the latest games and this Kinect thing they got which can apparently render 3d images of you whacking off if you use a shake weight in front of it. Wow. Imagine that.
     Naturally, since I hadn't been to the site in a while, I couldn't remember my password. Not a problem, right? Just reset it. Not exactly. Unfortunately, because Suckrosluts has been hacked so many countless times their security measures need their own security measures, and even that's not secure enough.
     Here's an analogy for people who are not technologically minded:
     Imagine you have a huge pile of raccoon vomit (I couldn't find a picture) and deer shit and you don't want anybody to have access to it because, for some reason, you think it's extremely valuable. You can try distracting people from attempting to steal your pile with little animated characters (nobody will forget Clippy- I'm sure he's the reason countless people have destroyed perfectly fine computer monitors), but eventually somebody's going to get through whatever shitty security you've set up.
     Except the geniuses at Microsoft (I had to get a few Microsofts in there for Google Analytics):

Introducing impossible CAPTCHA. I'm being punished for guessing my password three times. Stop, really? Why don't you hit me with something a little harder:

I'm still looking for that character on my keyboard. Are those umlauts?

Educution? Electrocation?
     Anyway, considering my 3 failed attempts and my impending lockout during which I fucked around with Microsoft's crappy CAPTCHA, I lost interest in logging into seXBox Live. I would consider this a UX fail, and ask MS to lighten up considering the only issue with somebody stealing my XBox login info would hacking my "gamertag" or realizing I have no friends who play XBox.
     Instead the box gathers dust in the basement and I cobble together another blog post about a company that's quickly becoming this decade's Alta Vista.
     Note: I mostly wrote this because I couldn't figure out Microsoft's feedback form. Again. But, if you retain anything from my crubbly writings, remember that Alta Vista somehow still exists. Tell your Mom. She might be using "Bing."
