Gamecube made entirely from straw shocker!

It has been revealed, through a leaked memo from some Japanese bloke that works for Nintendo that the European release date of the new console has been the subject of serious delays due to the new console being built with the popular farmyard feed material.
Consumers’ suspicions were first aroused when, on starting up the console, nothing happened.
There then followed a burning smell, the console self-immolated in front of them before little fireman ran in, doused the blaze and left immediately.
Tatsuki Bazooki, Tokyo spokesman for Nintendo said to an eager press “This is wubbish. The idea that we would fake a console and pay computer sites to review with bribes of money and offers of Cornish pasties is total fabwication.”

Customers, meanwhile, were left wondering why not one single game would ever play and those that lived in rural areas of Japan found that whenever they settled in to play, their goats would enter the dojo and proceed to eat the “Haycube”. It is also known that horses take to peeing on the machine before wandering off and starting revolutions on the farmyard.
Napoleon the Pig said, “This is a lie. The horses are merely selected for work because they are the strongest animals. The pigs live in the farmhouse because we are the smartest animals. This is in no way an allegory for modern man and social behaviour.”

European fans on Nintendo refuse to believe the idea that the Haycube is a myth, they clutch their security blankies and say “No, I saw pics on the web so it must be true, it must me”.
When pointed out that there are also pics of Elvis in space and other things, the Nintys burst into tears and sat in the corner rocking.
Sony fans, when learning of this info, laughed hysterically until it was pointed out that Metal Gear Solid 2 was also made from straw.
PC owners shrugged and continued to play online games and look for porn.

So what is the future for Nintendo, considering their “Bold new machine” is in fact, rubbish?
One would think that people would learn from the debacle of the N64 being filled with water but it would appear not.
Shigsy Mawiggsy, Nintendo head, said “I don’t care. Look in my eyes, this is the gaze of a lonely rich man with the odour of cabbage and empty barns. Please touch me, I so lonely.”

I think a metal console would be good. You could even get it engraved with the company logo - sort of a personalised thing.

Congrats anyway, Goatboy!

That Shigsy one just needs Grix to put the URL of that pic of him, and this would be even funnier.

Very good, however my laughter has turned to tears as I need to finish my essay on Animal Farm.
