Bachelor Contest Winner Chooses PS2, Not Girl

techstar25 writes "IGN is reporting that last night was singles night at a San Francisco Giants baseball game, and a 'The Bachelorette' type contest was held. The winning bachelor was given a choice to either take the beautiful, young, brunette bachelorette out on an all expenses paid date, or receive a Playstation 2. Naturally, the bachelor took the PS2, and 'The men in the audience cheered.'" The article notes: "Looks like when it comes down to a choice between video games and female attention, these days, videogames are winning out."

Maybe the guy had a girlfriend?

[spineboy]

Or maybe he thought that the PS2 would stick around a lot longer that the little hottie that they rranged for him. I've gone out with a few models, and yes I would have preferred a PS2 to a few of them (looks*Intelligence=constant).

Re:Maybe the guy had a girlfriend?

[Tuxinatorium]

I have a revision to your theory that looks*intelligence = constant. Since there are plenty of women who are both stupid AND ugly, such as Rush Limbaugh, this principle does not hold in general. However super-smart hot girls are as rare as top quarks. The few exceptions are rips in the space-time continuum. Therefore I submit that looks*intelligence k*Q^2, where Q is the supermodel-stupidity quotient (SSQ) and k is the Really Fucking Lucky (RFL) parameter, which equals e^(does god like you?).

[*weasel]

I believe that (modifier) is called (personality).

I left my heart in San Fran

[Johnny Mnemonic]

Um, of course, it was San Francisco? While I'm sure the breeders still out number the non-breeders, there's a pretty good chance the guy "wasn't interested."

Or, at least that's what the gal will be telling herself for some time to come, no doubt...

Re:I left my heart in San Fran

[bigman2003]

I think it was the part where he referred to heterosexuals as 'breeders'.

Because, using a derogatory term to describe people who are NOT gay means that you are gay-bashing.

Re:I left my heart in San Fran

[Hard_Code]

Hey you insensitive clod, gay people can 'breed'!

"Better the hand you know than the hand you don't" is what I always say. If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself.

The Playstation here is categorized as excercise equipment, as long as the controllers are manipulated virorously for at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week.

and in other news...

[Anonymous Coward]

a similiar contest was held across town, and this time the female contestant picked a Whitman's Sampler box over of her young suitors...

which just goes to show that sex is overrated because i'm not getting any

[perrinkog]

The Ideal woman:
1. smart
2. Doesn't know she is hot
3. Is my fiancee (neener neener ;)

Reasons why a PS2 is better than a woman

[HotNeedleOfInquiry]

1. A PS2 can pleasure you 4 weeks a month.
2. The only part of a PS2 that whines is the fan.
3. A PS2 doesn't leave the toilet seat up.
4. A PS2 doesn't complain about other PS2's

I've got to get back to work...

Re:Reasons why a PS2 is better than a woman

[schmoli]

3. A PS2 doesn't leave the toilet seat up.

uhhh... what kind of women do you date?

3. A PS2 doesn't leave the toilet seat up.

forgot to do the ol'crotch test huh :)

Re:Reasons why a PS2 is better than a woman

[Anonymous Coward]

Yeah, but does the PS2 support massively multiplayer? ;-)

Re:Reasons why a PS2 is better than a woman

[borisbfurry]

5. The PS2's start button is much easier to find

Re:A date is one night, a PS2 is years of pleasure

[chromatic]

Yeah, but you have to keep spending money on the PS2 to buy new games. Wouldn't that make it more expensive in the long ...

Wait, nevermind.

Re:I wouldn't touch her with yours.

[dthree]

She looked blond to me, maybe they were referring to her roots.

What a wuss!

[Stormwatch]

If it were, who knows, a Hi-Saturn with all the accessories and an original copy of Radiant Silvergun, I would understand. But choosing the Playstinky2 over a date with a hot babe?! I just have to say: OMFG LOL FAG!!!

Brunette?!?

[Otter]

The winning bachelor was given a choice to either take the beautiful, young, brunette bachelorette out on an all expenses paid date...

I know some of you guys are none too knowledgeable about women, but -- that is not a brunette. She is what is known as a "blonde". Lara Croft is a brunette, as are most of the women in Asian pr0n.

aww, that's an easy choice!

[Anonymous Coward]

Take the one that comes with a manual!!

PS Linux Kit

[bhima]

Well, I have to admit. If they threw in the Linux kit, I beleive I would have gone for Playstation too.

If I was him...

[Soul-Burn666]

I would have taken the PS2 and then invite the ch1x0r over to play Rez on the new PS2, with the vibrator accessory ofcourse ;)

Compatibility

[Oriumpor]

There's no guarantee the Brunette is backwards compatible.

Finally !

[Jtoxification]

Finally ! A man with balls, who is not afraid to show he's a nerd on National TV !

The truth is: Good human beings are few and far in between, (unless you count slashdot) but playstations are backed by warranty.

Re:On romance and video games

[ooby]

Koei makes a bunch of "romance" video games. Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Romance of the Three Kingdoms II
Romance of the Three Kingdoms III, etc, and the Dynasty Warriors series to boot.

Best of both worlds.

[Time Doctor]

My girlfriend actually got me a PS2!

What the -?

[identity0]

Well, I read the headline and thought, "My god, a guy so antisocial he mated with his computer?! At least use the USB port instead of PS2..." Thank goodness it was a Playstation 2 :P

Hey, this being California, the guy might still legally wed his newfound love!

I hate to make fun of someone who was just rejected in favor of a game console, but think of it this way: The PS2 was probobly new in original packaging, never been opened. The girl, on the other hand...

Okay, that was mean :) In all fairness, I'm sure most girls would pick a GameCube over a guy.

Re:On romance and video games

"I don't know about you, but I wouldn't consider it romantic if a girl only married me because I crushed her father's army and executed all of her male relatives."

Um...what if she wrote a poem, too?

I'd takthe PS2 too.

[Dolemite_the_Wiz]

When you get bored of the PS2, you can just turn it off.

Not to mention, when you're looking for some fun, all you have to do is flick a switch to turn it on.

San Francisco

The clue everybody seems to be missing is 'San Francisco.'

This boy might not swing that way.

4) Does not want to break my spirit.

Well, that rules out all women.

Could I interest you in a very friendly dog?

The Moral of the Story

[Staseman]

The moral is: You should always choose video games, because you can cheat on a video game but the video game can't cheat on you in return.
