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."
What? This was a Bachelorette style competition? Have we completely forgotten about original, non-reality television programming? This is a Dating Game style competition.
I hate television so much.

no TV, I didn't mean it, really! I'm sorry...
Did you ever notice that *nix doesn't even cover Linux?
wikipedia states:
The term brunette is commonly used to refer to a human (usually a female) who has black or brown (especially dark brown) hair, often with dark eyes and a relatively dark or olive complexion.
However you rarely refer to a asian person as being a brunette. Asians simply have black hair, or a more flattering term "raven" colored hair.
And brown = brunette so she may well be brunette because the image shows her havign brown hair.

Exactly what I thought.
Read the sign in the pictures: "4 love or Playstation"
While that obviously denotes sponsorship, it also lends credibility to the possibility of a staged result. How often would Sony sponsor such an event if nobody chose the PS2?

There are entire companies that do nothing but make video games in which the object is to meet girls and have sex with them for no apparant reason. J-list carries most of their games.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is about war and aristocratic diplomacy. 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.
