Do they think gamers aren't capable of eating normal food? I throw my vote in with those calling this retar-uh, I mean "special."

They probably all read the same websites about cheetos-stained-fingers, overweight, short-sighted, basement dwelling, roleplaying nerds that scour the Tubes since 1996, and decided to base their marketing campaign on retarded 80s catchphrases and overplayed, stale video games cliches...

I wonder what would prompt someone from their target demographic to buy these things?

I assume you'd have to be pretty drunk (to the point of retardation, ie. drunken stupid).

And really now, who among you here fit the "gamer" stigma the mainstream media has given as a stereotype (in the past, anyway)?

I think its a brilliant idea. And by brilliant I mean retarded.

Only way I can see them eliminating crumbs without the usual culprit of fat/grease holding things together is by using some sort of lacquer or laminate; a 'hard candy shell' equivalent. Given that some of their ingredients, Pizza Cashews and Mozzarella Peanuts, for example, do not exist in nature (barring some hefty genetic modification), I suppose a scientifically nutritious armored coating protecting your keyboard from the depredations of the flavor delivery matrix is the least of your worries.

The irony of this is absurd, and I love it. Props to all parties involved.

Is it so retarded that it's actually genius, becuase you know some hapless fools will buy them.

although I'd buy them, not to eat, but when this idea crashes and burns I'll still have these things and maybe one day they'll be worth something to some weird collector who collects all the abstract gamer memorabilia that ever existed.

You didn't quote "Eat well and Prosper"?
That's the joke I found the most hilarious.

This reminds me of another thread on this site, i think it was called: "Things that make you lose faith in humanity." Too bad i didn't hear of this until after I posted.

To be honest, I think that it would have to study for years to reach the (relative) lofty heights of retardation.

Even actual, card carrying, parking space permit holding, bona fide retards would point at this & laugh, saying "What a dumb ass" & "I may be retarded, but that's just stupid".

And they'd be right.

I'd also throw my vote down for retarded, but I'm not sure if the word adequately describes what I just witnessed.

WTF IS ACTION PIZZA?!? I mean, how exactly does one make pizza more action-y? Its not only impossible, it completely unneccessary. Frankly, I like the amount of action I get in my pizza, 0 to None. Maybe I'm just old fashioned like that.

Wait, THEY OFFER RACING WASABI AND YOU CHOSE TO PICK ON ACTION PIZZA? WHAT THE FUCK! RACING. WASABI. How does that work?

I don't know why, but I laughed at this.

You take a small Japanese car, replace the wheels with pizza, and DRIFT RACE!

(If you can't taste the concrete and road litter afterward, you're doing it wrong.)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Don't use pizza for racing. That's what wasabi is for!

Oh great, nerd food targeted for idiots. Chocolate is just what you need to be successful in strategy games. Peanut butter and jam is so sporty, I think I'll try to get some athlete to promote this.

Am I the only one who wants to know what it tastes like? I mean... it's crap. We all know that. But aren't you even a little tempted?

A little? I'm freakin' jazzed to see just how action-y Action Pizza is. I actually want to taste that. Mostly 'cause I like the pizza Pringles.
