Man, Subway sandwiches on your birthday? That's the most depressing thing about this picture. At least order a pizza or something.

 

[NullPointer]

A paper representation of a cake... that you have to put together yourself...

I'm surprised they didn't charge you extra for it.

But hey, cheers anyway!

Nah, it's included in XBL subscriptions! Lol

OMMFG


This place can be so magical sometimes.

 

[Giolon]

Ha ha, oh shit I just got this in my e-mail. My birthday isn't for two weeks. I'm not sure if this is more or less insulting than the 25 cents they gave out previously.

At least this has whimsical value.

 

[Flayer]

I'm crying. It's real. The most hilarious response.

The last few results are hilarious. Priceless stuff.

Off-topic but this thread made me realize, that with the change to real currency, the days of referring to MS Points as "J Allard Funbucks" are over. Sad times indeed.

 

[Coxy]

someone photoshop it in there and send it to them

 

[The Flash]

This is dumb

 

[Cheddahz]

 

[PInk Tape]

I never would of expected them to do something oddly creative for birthdays. I'm pleasantly surprised.. Good on you MS.

Spoiler

I wonder what a Sony or a Nintendo paper cake would look like if they did something like this.

Also Happy Birthday!

Bravo. The expressions on the ladies' faces in the photo are hilarious.

I love the woman standing behind the door

 

[DopeyFish]

aw man, i thought that was a real picture.

those fingers

 

[BruiserBear]

Holy shit. Why can't I remember what this pic is from? I know I recognize it.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

I wouldn't mind getting that and putting it together.

My birthday is next month so I'll eagerly await this.

 

[Killthee]

Yea the wall's a mess, I did it in my laundry room.

'Microsoft encourages arson'

 

[BiggNife]

Better than 20 Microsoft points.

Literally my exact thought upon reading the OP

 

[Goodacre0081]

holy shit LOL. I had the original pic ready to post but this is just fantastic

[PInk Tape]

I love the woman standing behind the door

She could be thinking:

"Why didn't MS send me one? I am cry."

or

"That's one sorry excuse for a cake. Try again MS."

Yea the wall's a mess, I did it in my laundry room.

Holy.. Thanks a lot MS for not only burning people's hopes and dreams but now their laundry rooms too.

Spoiler

Am I doing this right?

 

[RdN]

I came in ready for those 20 MSPs, but this is even more amusing. LOL.

 

[Cameron122]

The frosting is pencil sharpenings

 

[oldschoolpinball]

Lol I got the same thing today!

 

[Cheddahz]

She could be thinking:

"Why didn't MS send me one? I am cry."

or

"That's one sorry excuse for a cake. Try again MS." [/SPOILER]

or "Why did we get Subway for dinner?"

 

[FINALBOSS]

You guys wasted paper/ink printing this thing out? Lol

 

[Pie and Beans]

I didn't know what I was going to get from this topic, but it appears I walk away with gold.

Not Xbox Gold mind, its virality hasn't worked that well!

 

[Zonic]

Got this earlier today for my 22nd b-day on 9/21.

.....I want my damn 20 MSP that I didn't get last year because they started RIGHT at the end of Sept., so they were like "naaaah, you gotta wait until next year" to everyone that had a Sept. b-day.

 

[ndawgdrake]

This is so bad it's hilarious. Great gifs!

 

[killer rin]

I think it's kinda cute. I'd much rather have that then a few spacebucks worth less than the cup of tea I had this morning.

And happy birthday OP!

This. Sure its not 0.25c, but its still pretty awesome. Then again I'm a sucker for the automated birthday email stuff.

 

[travisbickle]

MS: Hey, can you do our social media branding today, your birthday.

 

[Neuromancer]

Did you really print and create the cake? Hah you're great

I did. It felt like work.

Happy birthday Neuromancer.

Did you tweet 'em the photo?

My birthday is also this month, but since I'm not a Gold member I'm not sure they'll even bother with this email.

Thanks. I just sent it to them. I hope I get a retweet!

Haha great work you guys.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Next year you get to print a coupon for a free kick in the balls at the Microsoft store.

 

[weevles]

#saddestbirthdayever

 

[Pinbot]

I got the birthday email too.

WHERE'S MY 20 MS POINTS?!

So very crap. I don't have the energy to make myself the cake. Kick in the balls.

 

[PInk Tape]

or "Why did we get Subway for dinner?"

"Do we have to share that one bottle of Sunny D or can I start drinking packets of Mayo in those plastic bowls? I'd rather do that because I hate orange juice"

 

[TheRealTalker]

lol hilarious... they should of had some fake icing decals to go with it

 

[Moozo]

Just sitting here laughing at the prospect of people making their own paper birthday cake

 

[GreenTornadoX]

I've gotten one of those emails, but I don't have a printer.

Sucks to be me LOL

 

[BroDudeGuy]

Holy shit, thats amazing you win the internet for the night!

 

[Chris_C]

They gave you a marketing project as your birthday present?

 

[Linius]

Damn it, my birthday was yesterday but I haven't seen my cake yet. MS is holding out on me here.

 

[ACSwift]

They gave you a marketing project as your birthday present?

lmao they did. Instead of giving you .25$, you gave them free marketing

 

[Dvide]

I'm literally laughing because of al the unadulterated, sore hate Microsoft gets for this. If Nintendo would send the same, you would all make circle jerk pictures and your jizzed paper cakes here.

Anyway, one of the better Microsoft actions as of late.

 

[Monocle]

Kind of cool actually.

No shame ms. How low can you go?

 

[cdwjustin]

This actually made me a little nauseous reading this
