Microsoft is lining their ducks up in a row getting ready for one of the hugest media blitzes ever conceived for any form of entertainment.

Taco Bell Corp., America's leading Mexican-style, quick-service restaurant chain, has signed on as the first promotional partner for the launch of the highly anticipated Microsoft® Xbox(TM) video game system. The companies plan to combine their powerhouse brands in a promotional campaign to reach their shared target audiences across the United States and Canada. Taco Bell will provide substantial media support that will aggressively publicize Xbox, and the company will host major in-store promotions to support the Xbox launch.

  • All I can Say is that I miss Taco Charley. They smoked Taco hell so bad they had to buy them out to stay in business. Taco Charley's had a better menu and there food was superior to any fast food Mexican. I remember the Burrito Grande and they had good enchiladas too. I have to say that Taco Bell has improved quite a bit since they absorbed Taco Charle's in the 80's I think. Taco Bell used to really really suck so bad. I remember going there sometimes with a friend and there Burrito Supreme was so bad back then. The sauce almost made me gag. The tostadas were dripping with greese. Mmmmm.
    Where's Taco Charley's?

  • This reminds me of that crazy story I think I've told once before where me & Steve & Jack are cruising around in my 1973 Gremlin (shut up) and we're all like "I could eat", so we pull up to a taco bell, only we didn't realize we had entered the crack ghetto section of the city. So we get out and walk into taco bell and there are like 20 dudes with blue bandannas but Steve's too busy updating Shack from his palm pilot and Jack's still working on a chalupah he ordered from the last Taco Bell (he's got like a microwave or something hidden in my goddamn trunk). So I'm ordering like a motherfucker while these two yahoos are figuring out how to integrate taco bell smell-o-vision into the shack and after an eternity we FINALLY get our shit and get the hell out, only to be stopped by some punk ass white kid asking if we want to buy some CIGARETTES and so I look and he's got a carton of GPCs and Dorals and I'm like "fuck that shit" and the kid's like "YOU BETTER BUY SOME MAN", so Jack throws my fuckin Nachos Bel Grande at the kid STEAMING HOT and the kid's face starts melting & I can still hear him screaming as we pull out of the parking lot. When we get back to Jack's hovel I wait until he's snoring like a jackhammer and raid his chalupah supply CAUSE I REALLY FUCKIN LIKE NACHOS BEL GRANDE. Bastard.
