A misunderstood pillow
A story this morning from ITworld.com: Microsoft reconsidering bikini-girl pillow giveaway. (My P-I colleague Brian Chin would file this one under the category, "You can't make this stuff up.")
"Microsoft Corp.'s Japan unit is reconsidering a plan to give away a long pillow printed with an almost-full size image of a popular game character, 17-year-old Kasumi from the Dead or Alive series, wearing a pink bikini." ...
"'Our purpose of including the item is simply that those type of cushion has great appeal to fans of the title. It's a pure promotion. I am aware that there are some stories written by overseas press with misconceptions,' said a Microsoft spokeswoman who would not provide her name."
