The last line of the message made me chuckle; what inconvenience is it to me that XFX lost a graphics card?</p><p>Oh wait...just before I was about to his submit on this post, I clicked on the message, and was taken <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dWziA_u5OU" target="_blank">to this YouTube video</a>. Apparently this is all part of a "Gamertainment Campaign" just like that last tiny line of text says. Nicely done XFX, you tricked me - now where's the unsubscribe button...</p>
