QuoteLong story short, a flier had been photoshopped and distributed around saying that a special mystery gift would be given out for kids and manboys at the event. That third bullet item isn't supposed to be there. Do see the subtle font difference? It practically glows off the page with sinister intentions. If you had looked at a real physical copy of the flyer, the words would have shifted around with sentience.
This was a document of false truths. The only thing Nintendo would be giving out at this event was receipts to mothers who had just bought their child's love for another few weeks.
The Nintendo Super Fun Security Police tried to contain the situation, announcing over intercoms to not download anything found on the wifi networks. Telling children not to do something is effective as trying to hammer a wet noodle into a 2×4. The children took to their little private internets. This is what they found:
Using a pirated wifi download signal, the man was able to send out the "Mystery Gift": A Shiny Gengar named "Nigger" whose moveset included attacks like "Sucker Punch" and "Steal". Many kids downloaded this Pokemon assuming it was a direct gift from Nintendo for attending the event.
Stories said that it was this man, dressed in Team Rocket regalia, striding through the troops of kids like an evil Pied Pier. Instead of a flute, he had a pirated internet signal.
:lulz: This man is an evil genius.
That's so wonderful!

I think the funny part was noting the problem and then telling everyone NOT TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.
Could have done it in a less offensive way though.

I don't know... he had to come up with something that was genuinely BAD, but not actually damaging to the kids. He found something that is actually bad, but not porn or violence, that the parents will have to explain to the kids, and the kids will then be enlightened somewhat about racism.
"Why is this bad, Mommy?"
I think it's all pretty masterful.
