Bait With Bite

And since their poster-book is a second instruction manual for your Xbox 360, it looks like they're really serious about that "any" part. We would understand if the "First Guidebook" was concerned with unconventional Xbox 360 use. Hell, if it told you how to kill a man in five different ways with your memory card while delivering a baby with the controller, we'd probably buy copies ourselves. But according to the wire, its most arcane instructions involve "Sharing music from MP3 players." You shouldn't even need to consult the real instruction manual for that one, much less pursue a second opinion.

Although this guide may seem like the dumbest idea ever, it's really the dangly little light shining above the jaws of Lulu.com. This beast gets most of its meat by binding your crazy ideas in books and then selling them back to you. If you happen to write something marketable, they use it to lure even more people into the world of imaginary publishing. Well, we've been in the world of imaginary publishing for a long time, and it pisses us off to see people profitting off idiots instead of helping them. No offense.
