Nintendo to start petal-ing 'Metallic Rose' DS Lite

Don't worry if you don't find the headline funny right away. Some puns take time to take root and mature, like a fine vine.Okay, but seriously, the news: Nintendo has announced that the "Metallic Rose" DS Lite, a pinkish sort of model that many may feel compelled to bury in the garden, will become available at retailers "later this month." The model was previously attainable only as part of a Nintendogs bundle.
As of May 19th, you'll be able to see the Rose shown off in commercials which star "celebrity spokespeople" like Carrie Underwood and America Ferrera. Another commercial will feature Liv Tyler, the odd one out with a Crimson/Black DS and a name that doesn't sound completely made up.

Yeah, 'America Fererra,' there's no way that's real.

That sounds like a stage name, if not, I stand corrected.

Damn, that girl from 'Ugly' Betty is smokinghawtsauce. I'd never really noticed before.

It's Hollywood, it's not like they'd actually use a real ugly person. Look at the movie Monster.

America Ferrari is that fat girl from the "Traveling Pants" movie, right? Why does she matter again?

Talking about other stuff. Now that Digg has a new comment system maybe Joystiq should take some ideas from it. ;)

Is Nintendo EVER going to realize that the color most of us are waiting for is
"Enamel Navy Blue"?
And enough with the half black/half (red|blue) thing.
I want a full navy blue DS lite! and i'm not paying $200 on ebay for a Japanese one.

Ludwig,
I love you--r puns!
Your cultivated prose and thorny wit nary fails to prick -- even when I'm wary and have my guard on.
