Turkey Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 I got this from URL=http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2822137,00.html]here[/URL]: [I]The winner of Nintendo's "What would you do for a GameCube?" contest dresses up as a Pikmin. Nintendo of America has announced the winner of its "What would you do for a GameCube?" contest. Corey Olcsvary beat out four other finalists from across the nation to become the contest's grand-prize winner. Olcsvary performed the most outrageous stunt, as he became a Pikmin by shaving his head, donning a leaf, painting himself blue, and eating a bowl of Pikmin food, which included worms and crickets. As his prize, Olcsvary took home a Nintendo GameCube, a Game Boy Advance handheld, a video game software package, and $5,000 in cash. "The response to this contest, like the enthusiasm for the Nintendo GameCube arrival, has been tremendous," said Peter Main, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Nintendo of America. "Of course, we never expected someone to become a human Pikmin and dine on mealworms and crickets just to get his hands on a Nintendo GameCube before its November 18 launch!" The contest finals were held at the San Francisco Nintendo Cube Club, which is part of Nintendo's GameCube marketing campaing and similar events will be held nationwide through the middle of November. The GameCube will arrive at retailers on November 18. [/I] Now, I've heard of crazy people, but this is too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorykoAngelcry Posted November 4, 2001 Share Posted November 4, 2001 I agree. . crazy indeed - crazy cause I COULDN'T DO IT MYSELF!! BLEARG >_< LOL, seriously, I could see myself doing something like that =) I am that crazy, plus the blue paint would hide my blushing for dressing like that in front of tons of people (insecure aren't I?) Honestly, I wish the Nintendo club would come through Nashville, TN . . . I would SOOOO be there. I wish that they had the contest too, because I would also be there, trying my best to be a nut to win one. I would just walk in a giant cube or something ^_^ maybe a themed cube at that. *shrugs* Too bad, now I have to wait in line like everyone else to get my hands on one =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
