More like a warning to remind us of the perils of not taking our medication.

Rephrase it to 'the ones who get shot and die', and we can add McKinley and exclude Reagan. Still left with Huey Long though.

Submission + - Sony claims fictional award for SixAxis

Submitted by NexusTw1n on Wednesday January 10, 2007 @09:25AM

NexusTw1n writes: On Monday, Sony claimed their revolutionary SixAxis controller had been honoured with an Emmy , leaving many wondering why the Wiimote had been ignored.

Today, that press release has been clarified , with a statement making it clear the award was actually for the PS2 Dual Shock controller, rather than the new PS3 model.

"I would like to confirm that Sony did not win for their PS3 controller, they won for their Dual Shock Analog controller," the NATAS representative concluded. Somewhat at odds, then, with Monday's press release: "Sony Computer Entertainment America Wins Emmy Award for PLAYSTATION 3 SIXAXIS Wireless Controller," where SCEA president and CEO Jack Tretton attributed his company's fictional success to "overwhelming consumer demand and critical acclaim".
