Parents, you know that secondhand smoke can kill your kids. You've known this for a while. But did you know that it can also murder your pride and joy, your GAME CONSOLE? Yes, folks, it's true. Secondhand smoke is the leading killer of X-Box 360's ages 4 - 10. The fact is:  +  =  Remember, if you're not going to save your kids, do the right thing; save your X-Box 360...

Very true - I was just explaining this to someone earlier.

It's still funny the way you present it but it's a fact.

The Carbon monoxide contained in smoke damage all electronic circuitry faster than just about anything other than pouring water into it. So while this is humerous the way you have said it - it is in fact true as well.

I believe the worst killer is crappy manufacturing. I have had my 360 for over a year now. And i just got the red ring ibelieve its the greatest console killer. O well almost all consoles since the ps2 have been junk. With its stupid disc read errors. Went through three of those and wonder how many 360's i will goi through.

You should man... I heard smoking causes baby seal clubbing.

your stupid tcnaruto7777

Haha! Says the guy who doesn't know which "you're" to use and apparently can't find his shift key. I'll just ignore the naruto reference in your name since that might hurt. Just because they are different from you, doesn't make THEM the stupid one. I thought the post was pretty clever and something different from the usual stuff in here, kudos TC.

That's pretty harsh to not let somebody into your house because they smoke.

Maybe this is why i'm on my third 360... or MAYBE it's because the dvd tray is cheap and wouldn't close properly... and then the lens was cheap and stopped reading games? Never had RRoD... I think the 360 likes nicotine.

Maybe that's why my Xbox 360 finally "Kicked the bucket" RROD. It was one of the first 360's, I played it a lot, Yep I smoked while playing videogames while All nighting etc. So my console died, Maybe I should quit smoking? Which addiction is stronger Gaming or Smoking?

I'd think most people would figure out this was a joke topic when they saw how I implied your console's life was more important than that of your kid's :P
