Welcome, people looking for "put-your-wii-in-my-xbox.com"!

Oh, what a crazy fun world.

In order to fill some space in this week' Sheaf, the News Editor wrote a "2006 Year in Review", basically a list of notable events from the last year. I felt it needed a little something extra and, remembering the old Esquire magazines of my youth, wrote punchline headlines for each item. They were delightfully hit-or-miss, and some items had to be removed because the only jokes to make about them are completely tasteless. (If you ask nicely, I'll tell you what I came up with for September's Montreal school shooting.) One item that caused me undue stress was about the introduction of Nintendo's Wii; the punchline should have written itself, really. So what to do?

The Arts Editor mentioned that he was trying to convince his Internet entrepreneur friend to create a videogame porn site called "put-your-wii-in-my-xbox.com". That's sort of an idea for a punchline headline: "Sadly, put-your-wii-in-my-xbox.com is already taken" ... Except it wasn't taken. We checked. So I paid the $6 and registered it. And I paid the $6 to register "putyourwiiinmyxbox.com" for good measure.

Not having the inclination to create the videogame porn site that these domains are clearly begging for, I decided to point the domains to my blog. Because why not? And where else would I point them? What's that? You don't know? That's right you don't know. I'm of half a mind to tell you where you can stick it.

Hmm ... maybe I should register "stick-your-wii-in-my-xbox.com" while I'm at it.
