(AP) Columbus, OH – A Columbus man, who waited nearly three weeks in a line outside of a Best Buy to purchase Nintendo’s new gaming system, dubbed the Wii, is suing the Japan-based company for false advertisement. Apparently, Chet Foglin believed that Nintendo was in fact, selling “weed.”
“Look man, alls I’m sayin’ is that I figured since all these people were camping out and stuff, I figured that Nintendo was gonna come out with some killer nugs, like real wet hydro. Because I’ve never had pot from Japan and those dudes have a whole chill way of life over there, you know? So, I jump on that bandwagon and I’m like, real stoked that it’s outside of a Best Buy ‘cause I can get the new Incubus CD while I’m baked on some sweet Nintendo buds. Then someone in line is all like “I can’t believe that I’m paying three-hundred and fifty nine dollars for this.” I thought, whoa that’s a bit pricey but I’m thinking that I’m gonna be getting like, a whole crap-load of trees to shhmoke on.
The people in the store were totally chill. They were like so freaking chill about everything and that’s what makes somebody cool, you know…being chill. So then, I go up to one of those dude’s in a blue shirt and I’m like ‘What up, bro? You got some Weeds?’
Then I was even more stoked because he was like, “Yea we got a few left.” So the dude goes in the back room and brings out this trippy-looking box. He hands it to me and the thing’s pretty heavy so I know I’m gonna get my money’s worth, this thing weighs like seven pounds. I go up to the register, pay for it with my mom’s debit card and roll back home with it. I even stopped at the Uni-Mart to grab a few Garcia Vegas. As soon as I get home, I throw some Matisyahu on my CD player and I get ready to roll the fattest fatty that ever existed. I open the box…and there’s like wires and stuff. Not a green leaf to be found! So I’m suing Nintendo for false advertisement and irreparable harm. Because finding out that I just paid three hundred and change for something that was not weed-related, not cool. I’m also suing Nintendo for $3.50 for the pack of Vegas that went stale sitting on my coffee table.”
When told about the situation, a spokesman for Nintendo had this to say: “Are you serious? No, are you really serious? Well I’ll tell you right now, if this is true, we here at Nintendo apologize to Chet. His demographic of unenergetic, apathetic, socially inept, misfit stoners is actually one of our most profitable ones. To keep him and others like him happy, we will reimburse the full amount and give up some of Nintendo’s finest marijuana. You had better believe that we have the best too. How else could we come up with Mario Kart?”
