Boy drops DSi into gorilla enclosure, hilarity prevails

Soo, ya think the 360 Wii or PS3 would hold up as well ? :twisted:

Would be even funnier if the gorilla pulled off a new high score on the kids DSI. :o

Anywho, just for fun. :P

The Story.

An idiot boy at San Francisco zoo sacrificed his DSi XL in the name of fun when he accidentally dropped it into a gorilla enclosure. As you can see from the above picture, this led to hilarity as one of the apes picked the machine up and proceeded to try and play with it.

After fiddling around with it, and getting some fortuitous photo poses out of the bargain, the gorilla lost interest and started bashing the DSi around. Eventually, a trainer got into the habitat and distracted the primate with an apple, whereupon he reclaimed the DSi and returned it to the boy.

The XL was still working after its ordeal, despite being beaten up and drooled on. It's good to know that Nintendo builds its systems to survive gorilla attacks. Lord knows we've all been in that situation.

You got Donkey Kong on this thing?[Spicuzza Photo A Day]

I wish I would have been there. Would have been an interesting event.

Even animals cant resist the pull of Nintendo.lol I wonder what would have happened if it was a Wii?:)

Ok that is an epic article.

But im gonna be a stickler and say, if your going to the damn zoo why do you need you nintendo.

This proves that Nintendo's Consoles are built to withstand almost anything.

Gorilla want some Donkey Kong.:lol:

read this already on destructoid.funny stuff

Post of the month :lol:

Just... wow.

Did the monkey take a picture of itself?

Epic thread right here :)

:lol: Awesome story. Nintendo did always make reliable hardware.

it looked like his/her child was eager to play it..the kiddies love the nintendo brand.

Hahah awesome article, best is that the DSi was still intact and working... Good piece of hardware Nintendo has there.

DSs are suprisingly durable. My sister left hers out in a major thunderstorm in the yard overnight and it was just fine, it didn't even need dried out to turn on. And it still works fine to this day. And now they survive gorilla attacks.

Wow that is great Gorilla's, explosions nothing can stop the mighty Nintendo

If it was a PsP the monkey would not have touched it :P

But the Zingers are all yours. :P

unfortunately the psp wouldn't last too long in a gorilla cage. The PSP go maybe, but then again, the gorilla would probably be like "Where's the fricken UMD drive?!" and smash it.

Nice advertising there.

Just goes to show that Nintendo games are so dumbed down that even apes get bored with them

Nintendo always make good hardware!

I think the more interesting part is that he was actually holding it right and generally understood how it works.

Great Article, on the other hand, i don't even want to know Nintendo's hardware tests to assure your console will survive the attack of a gorilla.

Wow that's cool :P I wonder if the buttons press easily though.

one of the many things i have in common with a gorilla, not being interested in the ds after playing it for a few mins.

true, you always see those pail, frail (or fat) socially inept kids being dragged along by their parents in public. that's nintendo's base.

And Microsoft can't even make an Xbox properly.Fightingfan

hoola

I was thinking the same thing.

Amazing that the DS can hold up to that. When my DSL broke, Nintendo told me I had dropped it or hit it and refused to believe otherwise (despite not having used the damn thing until it broke). So I thought that Nintendo's products were no longer built up to Gamecube durability. But maybe I was wrong.

Nintendo should use this in marketing for the DSi. And this just proves once again that when it comes to hardware build qaulity, Nintendo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everyone else.

Lets hope he wasnt playing zoo tycoon.genaroll

1. [insert Donkey Kong joke here]

2. Why the hell are you bringing a DS to the zoo? The whole point of going to the zoo is to see animals you wouldn't see anywhere else (for the most part) and now kids are bringing DS's to the zoo. Children these days..

3. I also want to say thanks to that child for delivering the lulz unintentionally.
