[Toa of Nerds]

Product Twenty-Two (Hacker Smacker)

Announcer: These passed weeks have been trying times for BZPower. For at this time, BZPower was suddenly and deliberately attacked. When this happened, we weren’t sure if we could go on. After all, in the midst of war, can you really sell useless stuff? But then I realized to myself: how can you live without buying useless stuff? SO WE PRESS ON TO SELLING USELESS STUFF!!!Audience: Yay!Announcer: But this product isn’t useless! I, and all other BZPers, hope that such an attack will never happen again. So make sure it will never happen again with the Hacker Smacker!Audience: Yes!Announcer: The Hacker Smacker is guaranteed to prevent any hacking attempts by Smacking the Hacker!Audience: Wow!Announcer: This new and revolutionary cyber defense program will insure BZPower remains online for a lifetime! Audience: Incredible!Announcer: Instead of relying on the incredibly lame powers of actual cyber defense, the Hacker Smacker relies on psychological powers!Audience: What?Announcer: That’s right! Instead of actually preventing the hacker’s access to the database, the Hacker Smacker displays a barrage of Windows-esc messages asking him or her if they are sure about that, if they want save their progress, if they’re really sure they want to do that, and informing them of “error code: STOP 0x09943138”!Audience: Wow!Announcer: Basically, it annoys the heck out of any non-Windows user!Audience: What if they hacker doesn’t boot Windows?Announcer: Hah! Well, if the person in question is actually booting Windows, then they obviously aren’t a competent hacker and we don’t’ have to worry about them!Audience: Huzzah!Announcer: What’s amazing about this is that it slowly works its way into the mind of the hacker; gradually sapping their will to ever touch a computer again!Audience: You can’t get that anywhere else!Announcer: That’s right, and you can’t get it at a lower price: $19.95!Audience: $19.95!Announcer: That’s right, you get peace of mind with only a piece of your paycheck! Hackers will never want to deal with these annoying pop-ups again! Check out the Hacker Smacker in action:Audience: Wow!Announcer: With that, you’d never want to hack again!Audience: That’s right!Announcer: So call now and keep your database hacker-free!

This week, I'd like to make an announcement. First of all, I would like to thank all of you for reading and enjoying my comedy. Your feedback has made this thing worthwhile for me. Writing this comedy has been incredibly enjoyable for me, however, sometimes the challenge of coming up with a new product every week wears on me. For this reason, I need a break.That's why I'm announcing that May 26 will be the season finale for UBZPJTYMH! This is not the end. This comedy will return on Saturday, July 28. That happens to be my birthday. No, that is not a coincidence . I'm still open to suggestions, as always, but keep in mind that if you make a suggestion now, you won't see your product until season 2. Thank you so much, and I hope you'll come back for season 2 !Anyway, enough of that, on with today's chapter!

Those red eyes look ominous.

[CHTrilogy]

Smashing! This one hasn't lost its charm!

[/Got_Your_6/]

Been reading this and so far, my favorite product is #19, due to not recognizing any of the songs mentioned (I'm listening to Hades by Kalmah right now, by the way, look it up if you dare). This is really original, and I look forward to this 'plot' you seem to be concocting (heh, maybe that should be a product).Anyway, keep this going, your work is excellent.

I like the description of tahu nuva.

[fishers64]

Actually, it probably won't work, because after their four-week torture session, they will go home, greatful to be alive (if they are alive) and pig out. :PAnyways, not sure if recent chapters are really related to the topic title, as has nothing to do with BZP...And are there two "Announcers" at the end?

Edited August 26, 2012 by fishers64

Tahu Nuva is fat?Hmmm ....Yeah, looks like it.

Sorry for being late, had been away. I like the turn its taken with these few chapters while still retaining the peddling of undesirable products. I loved the ghosts of the dead characters and their comments. XD

I believe we can do so via PayPal.

[fishers64]

It only costs 29.95, taxes and fees extra.

Yeah, ExcuseDefenseBot0001 is totally right! You should respect the author!

ExcuseDefenseBot0002 hit the nail on the head! Do you realize how hard the author works on this?

DITTO!

Evil Minions: Wow!Shadowy Figure: Hey, is that the infamous DITTO! Virus again?Announcer: Nah, we’ve totally taken care of that, right Gary?Gary: :shrugs:Announcer: See? Totally safe!Evil Minions: Yeah!Author: Dude, that’s totally what I need! I’m buying now! How much is it, what should I call?Announcer: I was just about to get to that!

Unfortunately my computer actually did get a virus (or did it ? ) and the twin evils of a busy schedule and flat out procrastination conspired to prevent me from getting this chapter out on time. I'll post the next chapter in two weeks (hopefully). Edited October 13, 2012 by Toa of Nerds

[25K Now!]

I see lots of random things in the text. Could it be that the Excuse Generator is malfunctioning?Anyway, pretty good chapter. I'll forgive you for your lack of chapters recently. Busy schedules are understandable. DITTO! seems to have returned.We're going to die.

[BULiK]

Hey man, appreciate The Author's work!

Now I just need for someone to do the next quote

[fishers64]

Have to admire your inventiveness here, turning laziness into an inspiration for a chapter. And yes, you might wish to edit to remove the "’" and whatnot. For some reason your chapter was converted into an XML document; no idea why.

[Phovos]

That was fun! I think I need to buy me one of those.
