I guess a Operating System derived from UNIX would be a pretty bad game...

Oh wait, hes too busy play Ubantu to get his hotmail emails which were "deleted".
Erm... Insult him? For what? For making a clever parody of someone who doesn't know how to use a computer?
Because it's a parody. Obviously.

Do you really think so?...
Also I might add there seems to be a lack person or post in that screenshot to make a parody of, which kind of the whole point of a parody.
It was really too big:

He's parodying the entire internet, IMO. Anyone who knows how to work a comments system would know better than to throw their laptop away if it got a littled messed up.

I don't know if you have worked on a tech support helpline or not but I do extra hours on one at my call centre and I am answering some of the most basic problem questions ever, to people who work in offices across the UK..
I believe this is genuine cos I know how clueless some people are about computers.

My mom is the most non-computer savvy person I know.
She wanted me to teach her how to attach a website to an email.
She wanted me to show her how to email someone at their home (street) address.
She thought she won a million dollars because a flashing advertisement told her she did.
She... well... you get the idea.
*sigh*

You make a good point. However, it strikes me as odd that a person that clueless managed to find out about Ubuntu in the first place.
He calls it a "game", but says "Go buy Windows [instead]", and later states that he threw out his computer and bought a brand new one, instead of calling tech support. I'd be the first to admit that irony is really hard to portray over the internet, but this reads like satire to me.

Again that could be because he thinks window is a game... :s

Reminds me about back through the 90's as CD-ROMS started to become standard issue on personal computers I remember hearing stories of people "Breaking their coffee cup holders". I thought it was some urban legend and that "Nobody could be that stupid".
Then, when I talked to my parents friends who all worked as programmers/tech support about the story and they mentioned how that was for real and was happening "more common than you think".
Also reading about a story that made headlines about some woman who called the police when she saw the old mac OS7 restart crash box (which had an icon of a bomb) because she thought her computer was going to blow up and kill her family.
