Yes, the title of this post refers to something that actually exists. MSNBC Japan has a little report up about the gifts given to the eight ministers attending this year's G8 summit in Hokkaido Toyako as part of a preparatory meeting at the Kyoto International Conference Center.

In addition to, er, manga-style stickers of each minister's floating disembodied head and a weird perfume ball called a Nioidama, each minister also got a custom Nintendo DS Lite as a goodwill gift from Kyoto-based Nintendo. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice attended for the United States.

So, yes: that means Condi not only has a DS Lite, but it's way better than yours.

AND SHE'S NEVER GONNA PLAY IT. GOD I HATE POLITICS!

I wonder... if she did play it, what games would she play?

Lynxara

I'm thinking it would be all the games my parents like. Tetris DS, Brain Age 2, Crosswords DS. Maybe Puzzle Planet League if she's feeling feisty.

Never going to play it? Heh, if my parents play the DS, I'm certain some politician would.

Isn't there a famous story about Bush Sr. getting addicted to Tetris on the original GameBoy, and joking that it was a Russian plot to cut into American productivity?

Lynxara

Yeah, there was a famous photo of him with the old-school Brickboy in hand, too.
