i’m kinda surprised this took so long

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit in Japan against five retailers for “importing and selling equipment that enables illegal game programs to be played on [the Nintendo DS]” — presumably flash carts such as R4. According to Reuters, Nintendo is joined by 54 other Japanese developers.

haha fox news.

Why are these news anchors smiling? Because they’ve been given cups filled with a solid plastic material that resembles coffee.

Two cups of McDonald’s iced coffee (BUY!) sit on the Fox 5 TV news desk, a punch-you-in-the-face product placement (BUY!) to chase down your morning news.

They’ve been on the Las Vegas station set for about two weeks, following the lead of a few TV stations across the country, and they’re still looking every bit as frosty and tantalizing (BUY!) as they were the first day you laid your eyes on them.

But wait, here’s the best part: They’re not real. Fake coffee on the real news, two plastic cups permanently filled with some kind of bogus drink. The anchors aren’t even supposed to acknowledge them, McDonald’s reps explain.

(I want this fake cup of espresso.)
