“Suppose for a moment that your dreams were a toilet bowl: white, shiny, freshly cleaned. Suppose, further, that a hefty gentleman — draped in a billowing Google T-shirt and clutching what’s left of a Chipotle burrito — parks an ample rear squarely atop said porcelain throne. What comes next is not entirely unlike the experience of watching The Internship, especially as someone who writes software for a living and who has actually spent a summer interning at Google.”

ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (KRQE) - 1982 brought a video game so bad it’s credited with nearly taking down the entire industry.
The Atari 2600 version of the hit movie E.T. was so unplayable, millions of copies went unsold with millions more returned.
Legend has it Atari needed to dump the extra merchandise and extra consoles as the industry crashed in 1983.
So they made a deal to dump at least nine semi trucks full of that merchandise from its El Paso plant in an Alamogordo landfill in late September 1983. The games were crushed and buried under concrete.
The Alamogordo Daily News ran a number of stories on the Atari dump, but what was exactly buried there wasn’t confirmed.
