DS Fanboy contest: Sumo Omni

Interested in enjoying the comforts of your very own Sumo Omni beanbag chair? Now you can, and without footing the hefty price tag -- if you've got the skills, that is. Here's the challenge: what could a Sumo Omni be in bizarro world? Design a completely different product with the same name and find a creative way to present it (bonus points if it's related to the DS). Make a poster or write a jingle. Create a flyer. It's all in your hands, and for once, you don't have to be a video wiz or a 'chopping expert to win. Humor is your weapon in this war. Make us laugh, make us wish for your imagined product, and we'll ship a charcoal Sumo Omni to your door. Second prize will walk away with a handful of shiny new DS buttons and the affirmation that they were almost good enough.

Due to the holidays, and the wide-open nature of the competition, we're giving you two weeks to work on this one. The winner will be announced Wednesday, December 27, so entries received after midnight, Eastern time, December 27, will not be considered. Submissions should be sent to dsfanboy [dot] contests [at] gmail [dot] com with the subject Sumo Omni Contest. One entry per person only. Failing to follow the rules, or submitting something pornographic, is an automatic disqualification. Keep it clean, make it funny, and win that chair. If you have questions, they'll be addressed in the comments. Now get to work!
