Dtoider Doskias sent something to the Destructoid tip line that I think is probably my favorite news story for the month on July now. And it's only the second day of the month!
Seeing as how the demand for the Wii has pretty much leveled out, GameStop is desperate to sell some Wiis. How desperate? They're offering f**cking rubber duckies! Don't like rubber duckies? Well how about some pirate tattoos?! OR HOW ABOUT A WATER GUN?!
Yeah, that just happened.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I forgot where I was going with that a long time ago.
if they really wanted get rid of there wii's they prob offerd something better then 3 rubber duckies :P
just...what.
there are no words to describe what I'm feeling
Maybe the execs' kids were telling them how much they like rubber ducks, water guns, and temporary tattoos, and the execs thought "hey, Wii sales have slowed down, kids love Wiis and this shit...let's bundle them together!"
Or maybe someone hacked the site?
@soulwax

They fucked up.
That being said, I'll take a Rubber Ducky.

GameStop employee 2: Bundle them in with something.
GameStop employee 1: But the average gamer Isn't gonna want a rubber duck.
GameStop employee 2: Bundle them in with the Wii then.
GameStop employee 1: Your right, casual gamers are even stupid enough to think they're getting a great deal and buy it here instead of Wal-Mart!
GameStop employee 2: Exactly!
On a side note, you can call a doctor a quack, but you can't duck his bill.
