The Ball’s In Your Court
The longer it takes for this laptop to sell out, the longer that toy monkey stays up there.
Just look at him up there, staring away at that secret dark place in your heart that you try so hard to hide from the rest of the world. It’s as if he’s using those hideous eyes of his to feed on every insecurity and fear, and all those horrible things you’d never dare tell another soul about, isn’t it? Om nom nom, cheating on your husband with his best friend. Om nom nom, gambling away the kid’s college money on a “sure thing” down at the race track. OM NOM NOM, THE THING I BURIED IN THE DESERT WHEN I WAS SIXTEEN OH GOD I WAS SO YOUNG I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING WHAT OTHER CHOICE DID I HAVE?
Only the thoughts aren’t going away, are they? They’re only getting stronger. And no matter how many times you press F5, he’s still going to be there, Wooter, unless someone, some brave soul will to fight this wretched toy monkey’s evil, buys enough of these Asus 17.3” laptops to make him go away.
Things like a 2.66GHz Intel Core i5-480M processor, 640GB 5400 RPM hard drive, Blu-ray ROM Combo Drive, 4GB DDR3 RAM expandable to 8GB, and the Windows 7 operating system make no difference to the Horrible Toy Monkey Picture. All he wants is your delicious secrets. Guard your hearts, friends, and buy three of these right away. He’s only growing more powerful the longer you wait.
