Make your pets hate you, win a Wii and Animal Crossing

If you have no interest in actually paying for a Wii and Animal Crossing: City Folk, Nintendo has your back. For the next three weeks, the company is encouraging people (North Americans only) to dress their pets in adorable outfits, and send photos of the unamused, uncomfortable animal(s) to this website. Come November 16th, the fifty best will win a Wii, a copy of Animal Crossing: City Folk, and a WiiSpeak microphone. Maybe this is the excuse you've needed to justify buying a pug?
The rules encourage an Animal Crossing theme, meaning the entries featured so far on the site are fairly rubbish, with most people just putting a hat on a disgruntled labrador. We sense our own idea is a winner. Protip, though: getting a necktie on a giraffe is hell.

KK says: buy Animal Crossing: City Folk to visit the city, reach out to friends, and make Iwata cry!

Jeez, that's kind of cruel, don't you think?

if by cruel you mean delicious, then yes...extremely mouth-wateringly cruel.

Even if i weren't 300 miles away from my home and my kitty, i doubt i would get him to do something like that.
He doesn't hiss, but he will attack with any provocation

Man, I'm so checking out that website. I didn't know where to look for a Digital Quran, but papayaone.com has got it covered. That's one more item checked off my Christmas shopping list (it's never to early to stock up).
Thanks emily fu.

I sent in a picture of my black cat wearing a witches hat. If looks could kill....

They all look so cute! I am all for dressing up pets for special/silly occasions, as long as you don't treat them as an accessory, the pets are physically comfortable, and their movement is not hindered. And you don't make them wear that damn thing all day! ;)
