Katamari ball rolls through SF Bay to Breakers race

They said they would, and they did: using a combination of Katamari cosplay and papercraft, a team of Katamari-krazy joggers ran the Bay to Breakers footrace in San Francisco all the while pushing a massive Katamari ball. This game is way beyond internet meme.

This Rocks!

thats awesome.

now lets just see how long it takes before someone comes to this thread and says that it's stupid.

Now THAT'S HARDCORE!! Is that a before of after pic? It doesn't look like that Katamari would stand up very well against the wear and tear of being rolled in the street from the Bay to Breakers.

I won't say it's stupid, but I will say to each his own.

There's no way that katamari is big enough to roll up a person!

Christopher7xii @ May 23rd 2006 1:01PM

That's stupid.

Not really, you just expect it. You trying to score some "I told you so" points for pointing out that not everyone likes the same thing though?

Please, no more use of the word "meme". Let's cut that one down before it gets out of hand.

Thanks~

I have no idea of what half the words in this story mean, and seriously - how gay can you look.

I always knew only casual gamers liked lame games like Katamari...and heres the proof...no real gamer would ever run a foot race.

Edmund @ May 23rd 2006 1:40PM

Holy crap that rules.

"no real gamer would ever run a foot race"

classic

tivo @ May 23rd 2006 1:44PM

so all of a sudden they got together and make a katamari and decide to run in a race? seriously there are some very weird people on this planet.

You think this rocks?

My poor cousin Bruce was incinerated in that damn thing.

Who says we need more stars. What we really need is Katamari Damacy on the DS.

"You trying to score some "I told you so" points for pointing out that not everyone likes the same thing though?"
