Do you consider yourself to be lazy? I don’t mean “I don’t want to go to work” lazy, I mean truly lazy. You know, where you sit in front of a computer all day watching YouTube videos and using your remote controlled R2-D2 to fetch you cans of cola from the kitchen. Are you that kind of lazy? Because if you are, then you’ll be happy to know that Microsoft is looking out for you.

Microsoft and Rock the Vote have partnered up in order to give Xbox LIVE users the opportunity to register to vote in this November’s presidental election.

Registration is set to begin on August 25th, and Microsoft wants the country to know that if they were a state, they would be more important than Vermont, New Hampshire, Montana, both Dakota and Delaware combined.

If Xbox Live were a state, it would rank as the country’s seventh largest, giving it approximately 20 electoral votes.

Rock the Vote director Heather Smith also voiced her excitement over the partnership, stating that it gave the movement a real opportunity to meet their goal of registering two million “young Americans”.

Microsoft will also have some kind of presence at both the Democratic and Republican National Conventions this year. If anybody sees Joe Lieberman playing Gears of War 2, I’m begging you — snap photos.
