Hi, welcome to "Taking over the world for dummies".
Here, we will have a look at how the top candidates for world leader are trying to stick their family's flag on this lump of rock we call Earth. Let us have a look at the leading contestants and an explanation as to why they're on the list.
1) Micro$oft
2) PacMan (yes, really!)
3) EA
4) McDonald's
5) Pokemon

Explanation:
1) Micro$oft, for those who don't know, is the company that's closest to reaching its goal. Nevertheless it still has a long way to go. Most people think that it is a new company and that it hasn't actually done any harm to our society, but my research (based on trustworthy sources such as GOOGLE, CNN, and THEONION) proves that this corporation is much, much older than popular belief. It was in fact (no, not really, but for the sake of the article...) founded by Hitler and used tactic #0x0E36 for global domination: Blowing stuff up. After that didn't work, he changed the name to Micro$oft.
The main tactics in use here are #0x0A59 and #0x0021.
#0x0A59 consists of gaining extremly large amounts of money and later on switching to:
Tactic #0x0E36 (Blow Stuff Up)
Tactic #0x0F01 (Buy the whole planet)
#0x0021 consists in creating software that will give humans headaches powerfull enough to blow a fuse, therefore turning its customers into an army of mindless-demented-zombies.
For the incredulous, here's some hard evidence:



2) PacMan
Some of you won't believe this little guy is so nefarious. So wanton. So full of pure, condensed evil. I couldn't believe it myself, but after staring for 8 hours non-stop at a monitor that just wouldn't turn itself on, his dark secret dawned unto me by one of his own products:
PacMan owns LG.
Yes, that's right. LG, that company that makes CD-Burners, Monitors, and other PC parts is owned by PacMan. Our dear child-hood friend is trying to take over the world through tactic #0x0A59, the same as Micro$oft. At first he was trying to take over the world through tactic #0x0022 (more on this later on), but that didn't work. So he followed the path of M$ and founded LG.
Every one knows the LG logo, right?


3)EA. From Jeku's threads you can tell what it's trying to do. Tactic #0x0A59, the most popular of all. But it is also trying a variation of tactic #0x0022, which shall be better explained with:

4)McDonald's. It is pretty obvious that it is using tactic #0x0A59 (get really really rich) because it was the largest fast-food chain on earth. You could be in either China, Brazil, or the US and get the same hi-quality, delicious, nutricious, "McDoorNail" at the speed of a speedy thing that's speeding. What you might not have noticed, is that it is also using the following tactics:
#0x0022: Consists in using Perverse Psycology (TM) to lure the countries' future leaders (read: kids) and destroying them mentally, transforming them into an army of mindless-demented-zombies. This is very similar to #0x0021, but is aimed at human larvae between the ages of 0 to 14 years of age.
#0x0666: Consists of selling a "Food product", (note the "") that is so undigestible so as to raise the percentage of anual deaths. This makes it easier for a smaller army (either the army from tactic #0x0E56 or #0x0022) to take over.

5) Pokemon. Ok, their plan has failed, but they were pretty close a year ago. There was perkymon merchandise everywhere, and human larvae who changed each other's names for that of little cartoon monsters. I do no need to point out tactics #0x0022 (larvae zombies, perverse psycology) and #0x0A59.

If you see anyone else taking a shot at global domination, or if you are trying so yourself, post here!

You also forget p2ps such as kazaa lite, they are working in conjunction with micro$oft to keep people at their moniters offering them any service free (music videos ect) monitor radiation weakens muscle fat and increaces body fat. also mobile phone companys are in it too, phone radiation frys your brain. The atkins diet isnt helping either as it makes your brain rot and your liver go bad. so if micro$oft work in conjunction with the above, everyone will be to weak to fight back thanks to p2ps adn everyones brain will be a lot more simple thanks to mobile phones making it a lot simpler for micro$oft to make people conform consume and obey!

They must be stoped

I thought about putting Bush in the list, but didn't for 11 reasons:
01) The US is where it is today without his intervention.
10) I didn't want to disgrace my keyboard by typing that name.
11) I tried not to make this a very political thread. It was for fun.




you were probably expecting a much longer list, no?

Those are three good reasons. I'm satisfied. Although, having said that, the US is in Iraq and that's 1 squillion % Bush. But anyway, no politics.

Check out the attachment and learn some Tagalog. The small text at the bottom is kinda funny.

I'm sorry, but this quote got me riled up. For the last time, democrats and liberals are NOT communists! I hate communism as much as I do despotism, fascism, and all totalitarian governments, I'm as patriotic and pro-democracy as the next guy, and yet I am still a heavy-duty liberal and proud of it.

I know I'm going off on a rant, but I hate it when people try to pigeon-hole every liberal or democrat as a communist, when we are almost-entirely not. If I called every single republican or conservative a neo-nazi fascist (which, for the record, I am not), I'm sure you'd feel the same way.

Sorry to offend anyone, but I'm very passionate about politics.

demecrats belive in many simialar things that communist believe, such as:

Seperation of church and state
letting "big brother" help out
a socity with no classes, or just taxing the heck out of rich people
the list rolls on,

look, really it depends on what level of demecrat views you are at, some are more extreme then others, and extremeists are indeed 9 out of 10 communist. and for a little humor and truth i got a shirt which reads: 9 out of 10 terrorists agree, anyone but bush

I thought NESTLE owned most of the food-thingies. Their tactic is simple :
No food, no life.
No life, no world.
No world, no domination.

So if they produce food, they make the domination.

actualy all those people will fail, none of them have the essentials required to take over the world

1 .... an army of goons in tight jeans and turtleneck sweaters wearing sunglasses

2 .... a Doomsday device

3 .... an imposing command center with an easily accesible destruct button (tm)

4 .... a big egg shaped swivel chair

5 .... a pussy

everybody knows that to take over the world you have to threaten the world leaders with your doomsday device, kill off agents sent to investigate with your turtlenecked goons and sit in your egg shaped swivel chair in the middle of your imposing command center strokeing your pussy, so none of those guys hack it , see the link for advice on how to do it properly and readily available equipment suppliers...

Mentor, all the things in your list can be aquired after gaining lots of money. Which is what a bunch of the guys are trying to do. One thing at a time. baby steps.

@Sage Tech Administrator
If you really think comunism is going to take over the world, it's because you think comunism is better. Think about it. And when you're done thinking about it, don't post your conclusion here. Maybe edit your post instead. I made a joke thread, so please don't turn it into a political debate.
If you really want to talk about politics, and you happen to have access to a Linux box, I suggest you send an e-mail to my friend, "/dev/null". To read his replies, just type "more /dev/random".

@Mentor,

I have 1 to 4, but not 5 - cats don't seem to like low gravity so I'm currently trying to genetically engineer a low-grav cat.

I can also offer cloning at a low rate for evil geniuses, as long as you have current membership of the 'IanM: World domination' fanclub.

@Sage,

Chill out man. I think that the general consensus seems to be that no-one wants to hear about your political or religious views in this thread - make your own if you want
