Anytime people talk about being a hater and XML, all I can think is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Ice-T>
        <do-not-hate>Playa</do-not-hate>
        <hate>Game</hate>
</Ice-T>

So you decided to hate the game. Let's encode that in XML!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<Ice-T>
        <do-not-hate>Playa</do-not-hate>
        <hate>Game</hate>
        <Playa>XML</Playa>
        <Game>Marketting</Game>
        <Hater>Dave Hall</Hater>
</Ice-T>

Yea! :D
