Shipping giant UPS announced today their entire computer network has been fried! The cause? Anxious and angry busted Xbox 360 owners!

According to UPS Spokesperson Ima Packman:

“Stop hitting ‘refresh’ you idiots!”

Gamers going through withdrawal are doing nothing but hitting the refresh button on the UPS.com tracking page.

Every time an Xbox 360 gets the dreaded “Red Ring of Death” or “RRoD” as it is more commonly known, Microsoft graciously pays for the UPS shipping of the busted console to their repair center in McAllen, Texas.

The problem is, both Microsoft and UPS never expected the explosive tenacity and eagerness of their gaming hungry clientele!
Microsoft’s head of repairs Jason Slowberg stated:

“It’s quite ironic, 360 owners want their consoles back so badly, but they don’t even realize THEY are the ones causing the repairs to go so slow! At least people are mad at UPS and not us anymore!”

Also UPS chief engineer Jimmy Boxing had to comment:

“Every time you hit refresh, you’re bringing a man in tight brown shorts to his knees!”

Unfortunately these cries are just too late as the onslaught of “refreshing” has refused to cease, causing a UPS global shutdown.

Remember frustrated gamers, resist the urge to refresh! You WILL get your replacement system and a UPS worker’s life you save may be the one with your 360!
