Move over, Caturday -- it's time for DS macros to take the stage. It's no secret that we're somewhat fond of those memes from the internets around here. Some may even say we're too fond, but really, is that even possible? Can there be a meme overload? Let's test it and find out. We've got a shiny new copy of the Nintendo DS Browser (Lite or Phat -- your choice!) up for grabs for the best DS macro. That's right, folks: we want to see DS macros. Cat macros are so yesterday. The DS is the new cat.
The best DS macro (as judged by the DS Fanboy staff) will win its creator this spankin' new browser, and we'll send out a couple of those Jimi game shells to the runner-up. And yes, fan folks -- if you can manage to incorporate both the DS and a cat or two, it might just earn you bonus points. All you have to do is make a lolDS pic (we expect to see a lot of weeping hinge cracks) and e-mail it as an attachment (along with your responses to this form, which allows us to post the winners) to dsfanboy.contests [at] gmail.com with "lolDS contest" in the subject line. You can enter as many times as you'd like, but please, for our sanity and yours, send only one DS macro per e-mail. Get cracking, because this contest is only open through Friday, August 24; anything received after the clock ticks over onto Saturday on the east cost will be discarded. We'll announce the winners on Monday, August 27, and also show off the best DS macros, as created by you.
Don't forget to check out the official rules, as there are some very particular guidelines that must be followed if you want your entries considered. Specifically, if you are under eighteen, you must supply not only your e-mail address, but a valid e-mail address for your parents as well, so that we may notify them that you are entering this contest. Parents who do not wish their minor children to participate may have those entries removed by e-mailing us at remove.requests [at] www.dsfanboy.com. And once again, to the disappointment of our international readers, this contest is open only to residents of the U.S.
Though we've already listed the form above, if you wish to enter, you must agree to and include this information, which means you agree to the terms and conditions of our contest as laid out in the official rules. Get reading, get clicking, and start making some pictures!

I feel this will be getting dangerously close to breaking rules 1 and 2.

Those contest rules you linked in the "official rules" are a month out of date.
It's going to be pretty hard to submit something between July 2nd and July 8th without a time machine.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is a considered a stupid question, but when you say "100% original work," does this mean that if someone actually planned to make an image macro with a hinge-deficient DS's, he'd only be permitted to use that image if they had taken it themselves? (Well, that or if someone decided to destroy his DS just for the contest...)

As far as I know, it needs to be YOUR picture -- or you need to have express permission to use it. I expect that would be okay. Luckily, you have time to send some e-mails and ask around!
Sorry to our international readers. On this one, our hands are tied, and believe me, I would love to open it up. I hate thinking that we're cutting out a large portion of our readership. :(
In GOOD news, first day's worth of entries are looking great!

Crazylink: Isn't referring to Rules 1 and 2 break them anyway? Plus no one cares anymore about said rules, and they didn't mention 4chan or /b/ anyway.
Oh wait, you're one of those people that think that memes are only funny on 4chan... YOU FAIL.
