Kotaku US ‘Shop Contest: Hot Pockets: The Winners!

So many amazingly horrific entries last week, but the winner is a simple, iconic image of Link from The Legend of Zelda playing the lovely “Song of Arse Storms.”

All we wanted to do was show the folks in charge of Hot Pockets marketing how to properly tie their product in with video games. They weren’t doing it correctly, and I figured we could help.

SeaBeastRising certainly helped. One can almost believe an elf-eared child from a fantasy land could nibble on one of these horrible things without instantly dropping dead. Lovely job!

Enjoy it while you can. It’s all pretty much downhill from here. No dicks, but at least one man obscuring — yeah, we’ll say that — obscuring his dick with a Hot Pocket. I would stress that neither I nor this contest are affiliated with Hot Pockets in any was, but I’ll just let the image of one getting nailed by a video game character speak for itself.

This was a great idea.
