Minutes ago, a new tip hit our emailer. The subject was "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ARE YOU READY TO GO BALLS DEEP?"
Huh.
A press release with that sort of subject tends to kick up a great deal of thought. What publisher in their right minds would put out a release like that one unless it was aimed at generating interest in one of the
worst-reviewed games in recent years? This had to be about Balls of Fury, I thought, and clicked--
(Beverly Hills, CA) Have you ever had a fantasy about that guy working on your house? You know the one—rippling muscles, sweat glistening off his skin, he stops his work and starts a new construction project on you?
Well, no, can't say that I have. Well, maybe just
once, but only when I was really drunk, and even then -- hey, wait a minute. How exactly does this relate to Balls of Fury, enigmatic press release monkey? I don't remember hearing anything about that in the game--
Well, boys, you can have this and a “hole” lot more if you play your cards right.
Oh shit, gay porn! I've been hornswaggled!
Inexplicably, Destructoid routinely receives press releases from Hustler Video. I can only assume that this is a holdover from our
robot-and-pornstars shenanigans from last year's CES or something, because it's not as though we
regularly post that kind of stuff.
But the best thing about this: minutes after it shows up in our mailer inbox, I've got six other editors running me down on GTalk to tell me about it.
Balls Deep? This is relevant to Linde's interest! He must comment on it!
It's certainly not the strangest thing that's ever turned up in our inbox -- hey, it's just porn, after all -- but it certainly has the best subject line I've ever seen.
Maybe I like to paint my toenails. And wear cut-offs. And have old lady feet.
Don't judge me.
<3 Destructoid.
... in a good way.
