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.

    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.
