Reggie for President

Looks like the higher ups at Nintendo of Japan must've been pretty satisfied with how they fared at this year's E3, because you can now call the Regginator the Reggident. S'right, Reggie Fils-Aime's been bumped to President and Chief Operating Officer of Nintendo of America, with current prez Tatsumi Kimishima now serving as chairman of the board and CEO. It was a long way up for the Reg since he came on at Nintendo a couple of years ago as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Nintendo of America, from his humbler beginnings shilling stout for Guinness, cheesy bread for Pizza Hut, and pharms for Procter & Gamble. His real ultimate power over the American consumer market, however, is now manifest, and we suspect we'll all be able to expect more of the same continued ass kicking, name taking, and game making from NOA, et. al.

[Thanks, Alex]

Oh God, now he'll kick ass, take names, and wiretap us all without letting the Nintendo senate know anything about it!

You know Reggie? Reggie's the man.

Now where can I get one of those buttons? hehe.

There are no executives higher than Reggie Fils-Aime. There is only a list of people he allows to live.

Reggie Fils-Aime once kicked a guys ass so hard he not only took that man's name, but his two children's names, one of which is not born yet.

Reggie sleeps with a night-light on. Not because reggie is afraid of the dark, but because the dark is afraid of Reggie.

What happened to the previous president?

[Brian from Texas @ May 26th 2006 9:36AM]

Alright, I've posted my new T-Shirt on e-Bay. I hope that pin isn't trademarked.

[Walkin @ May 26th 2006 10:01AM]

I want one of those pins.

[Reginald @ May 27th 2006 3:45PM]

I espescially want one of those pins; my name is Reggie afterall. All I will have to do is start combing my hair like his and I'm set!

This is the best thing since the Reggie (Jackson) candy bar in the late 1970s.
