Let's hope the bulk of the would-be developers aren't either Islamic or Jewish, because I think this sort of display would probably have turned them right off …
Microsoft has been seeking to recruit developers to the Kinect platform using one of the most potent bribes in the book: bacon. Microsoft is looking to double the size of its current Kinect developer team, and has hired ad agency Wexley School for Girls to promote the idea. Those bright sparks came up with the bacon idea under …
Peanut butter, maple syrup, and chocolate sauce? on bacon? ... philistines ;)
@"moist back rashers"
... with brown sauce ... in a sandwich ... hhmmm.. now you are talking. :)
I now know what I'm going to be having for breakfast tomorrow. :)
I just want to know how am I supposed to get through the rest of today without thinking about a nice bacon sandwich!. :)
Surely that's a joke...(googles)...oh, right.
Surely the bible contains something about what happens to mankind when it decides to invest human ingenuity in aerosolising cheeses? The Quattro Formaggio Of The Apolcalypse?
In any case, who could want bacon to taste cheesey? You need something that balances the fattiness, not adds to it.
This is even more confusing than the phrase "Microsoft temps developers". I thought the Microsoft developer response scale maxed out at "dull resignation".
Your reminder of American Crimes Against Sliced Pig provoked me to do The Right Thing and lightly grill four rashers of Barry's Best Back (East Londons finest, it must be said) and place it tenderly between two generously buttered doorsteps of fresh Percy Ingles sandwich tin (it was still warm when I bought it). Coffee in hand I'm now an hour late, but much much happier.
Ah yes. That sums up Microsoft's ethos: let's take something simple and brilliant which a significant number of right-minded individuals actually choose freely and enjoy then add all sorts of shit onto it, calling it a bonus feature of course, but which somehow makes the whole thing disgusting and horrible, then shove it down everyone's necks, whatever church they belong to, whether they want it or not, and expect them to be grateful for it.
No thanks.
that I don't add anything to bacon and think anyone who does is a philistine. I can get the maple syrup, having tasted it once with spillover from a waffle hitting the bacon. Tasty, but not quite bacon. Heck, I'll even happily devour turkey bacon at the kosher deli near the house. (Best corned beef hash in the US, BTW, and friends from New York City agree.) But adding to bacon? No thanks.
However, the chocolate added to bacon is often Nutella which is, IIRC, of Italian origin. And it tastes like nuts, not chocolate. Blech!
