Nov 29 2008My Condolences: An XBox 360 Funeral :(
What happens when an XBox dies? Does it go to heaven? A landfill? Sunday brunch for mimosas? Whatever the case, this is a picture of an XBox 360's funeral. As you can see, many friends from yesteryear came to pay their respects. This picture is actually just one in a series of the funeral, so you should go here to see them all, along with some words that were written about the event. It was very tastefully done. Not as tasteful as I would have done it, but the open bar/stripper funeral isn't for everyone. Like, haha, Aunt Phyllis. I've never seen so many angry relatives and confused strippers in my life. I had a blast!*
*And didn't even puke in the casket this time. Sorry, Uncle Rob, but hey -- at least you were dead! Tell God I say what's up.
Hit the jump for two more, then hit the link to see them all.
The funeral for my Xbox 360 [gamespot]
Thanks to Margo the Jeweler, who may not be the real Margo the Jeweler. Or is she? She isn't! Or IS she?

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadows are all wrong.
This reminds me a lot like a scene from the movie Never Back Down where Baja steals Max's PS2 and trades it for some bacon flavored ice cream from her friend at the local Del Taco. Unfortunately for her, Max discovers this after someone posted the following in a wheel of fortune chatroom:
FREE PS2 for anyone who can eat the most bacon flavored ice cream!!! *Details inside, hurry!
He goes to Del Taco, beats up the fat kid, wins his PS2 back & brings it home and wraps the thing around Baja's neck, then stuffs her into a cardboard box, attaches a jetpack, takes her to a remote location off the coast of Turkey and launches her into a sea of rubber duckies. It was a bizarre scene but it all happened in the hit movie Never Back Down.

FAKE!!!!
This is an obvious photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back down where Baja had to go to chuckles the clown's funeral. After getting pissd off at max all day for making jokes about chuckles and the circumstances of his death - dressed as a peanut and shelled to death by an elephant, Baja loses her composure during the funeral and starts laughing uncontrollably.

12. Hotrod - November 29, 2008 8:24 PM
Awesome pics, I saved them.
What's even more awesome is the real daisy now has a TRO next to her name, so we know which one is the real one.
Thank you so so much. God bless your soul.

14. Daisy - November 29, 2008 10:07 PM

Rar, shadows, photoshop, wibble etc.

17. Brasilica69 - November 30, 2008 2:46 AM

wow, that's an incredibly lame and boring story. Like this post.
22. ...in America! - November 30, 2008 10:42 AM
Awh, that's adorable and sad :(
23. Pinky Marie - November 30, 2008 11:29 AM
Where is the PS2? I see one and three, am I missing it? Also, it's a 360, they all die, why so sad?
24. blp - November 30, 2008 12:58 PM
The PS3 murdered it and had the nerve to go to the funeral!
25. Wall-E - November 30, 2008 2:16 PM
Thats probably why the PS3 is in the back the whole time. Its just making sure it did the job
26. Nick - November 30, 2008 3:56 PM
Wii didn't turn up!
Bitch!
27. blp - November 30, 2008 4:11 PM
Wii did turn up. Click the gamespot link for more pics and descriptions.
"It was a very nice funeral. Thanks to all the attendees including R.O.B, Neo-Geo Pocket, Gameboy, Virtuaboy, PS3 and Wii to name a few."
I think Wii was waiting for everyone else to leave so he could disect the body and steal the HD capable components for itself out of jealousy!
PS, that was that guy's 4th 360. Microsoft couldn't make a console that worked if Sony or Nintendo made the parts for them with instructions on how to assemble it! They'd probably stick it together with PVC glue. Do yourself a favour, spend the extra and get a PS3 so you can enjoy your games without the anxiety that it might crap out on you any moment.

Wow is that Virtual Boy or am I seeing a ghost? Where the hell has he been hiding all these years? This is like the Surreal Life for consoles: Bunch of has beens looking for their place in the spotlight again. It is never as sweet as it used to be, but we love you all still.

The red ring of death take another victim. I noticed the SNES didn't bother to show up, I guess he couldn't get off work that day. It's good that R.O.B. showed up, though. You know he had nowhere else to be on any given day.
30. Nancy - December 1, 2008 4:19 PM
They should lay lit candles out in a symbolic red ring.
31. LSDiesel - December 2, 2008 10:50 AM
I think this is pretty gay.
32. abby - December 5, 2008 8:36 PM
I LOVE IT! although i suppose i am biased, as i once held a traditional jewish wedding for roomba and tivo. it was a family affair with the broom, dustpan, vacuum, tape player, dvd player, camera, computers, etc...
anyhow, you rock.
33. abby - December 5, 2008 8:39 PM
ps check out roomba and tivo's wedding here: http://missabigailgrace.blogspot.com/2006/05/time-flies-by-in-city-of-life.html
