XBOX 360 - The Drug

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6153979.html

Report: Xbox 360-branded ecstasy popping up in UK
Underground bulletin boards indicate illicit pills stamped with logo for Microsoft's next-gen console are making the rounds in British clubs.

Ever since it became popular in the early 1990s, ecstasy--the street name for Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)--has typically appeared in pill form. Often drug suppliers would stamp their pills with symbols, and sometimes even logos of corporate corporations, to differentiate them from the competition. One of the more famous examples of logo-theft were the "Mitsubishis" that were popular among West Coast clubs during the mid- and late-1990s.

Now, it appears the latest corporate brand that has been appropriated by drug dealers is one well-known to gamers. A series of postings by club-goers on a forum uncovered by Kotaku reveal that "Xbox 360 pills" are making the rounds at underground events around the central British city of Northampton.

The quality--and precise chemical content--of the Xbox 360 pills was the subject of some heated debate on the forum. However, one entity which won't be joining the debate is the Xbox 360 brand's legitimate owner. "In regards to the ecstasy pills, we don’t have any comment on this," said a Microsoft rep. "But we’re obviously aware of the rumors."
