(asplodes from laughing) :laughing:

that...is just so damn good...Betcha Bush is gonna set an all time low record...unless his CIA buddies get their hands on it first.

Nintendo FTW!

I wonder if he's figured out how to turn it on yet... or even open it up

Nintendo, I love you

1) Hammer.
2) Following the instructions on the box.
3) "Assembly required."
4) Asks his secretary.

This made my day. This so made my day.

The funny thing is, I don't think Nintendo was trying to be insulting. Think about it:

-The game is designed to assist aging brains, Bush is 60
-Nintendo is trying to expand their target audience to "everyone", and who better to try to appeal to than the President of the United States?
-The DS Lite (and Brain Age, for that matter) were new, and Nintendo saw this as a HUGE opportunity for publicity.
-The included letter, to quote the link, "basically reads like a press release for the brain training game". I've seen a copy of the letter elsewhere, and it really does sound like that. I have to say, this definitely sounds more like a publicity stunt than a jab at the President. Not that it makes it any less humorous.
