Pull up a chair, we need to talk. I’ve been meaning to discuss this with you for a while now but I wasn’t sure how you would take it so I’ve held off. I can’t keep my mouth shut any longer though so I’ll just come out and say it. Your refrigerator is fucking ugly. I couldn’t even use the condensed word fugly it’s so bad. All the magnets you use to hold up your pictures, little notes, and various lists have slowly created the largest eyesore known to mankind. I know you have a tough time throwing stuff away but the car insurance calendars and realtor advertisements have got to go. Lucky for you I have an adorable handmade Mario-themed magnet set ready to bring your kitchen back to its original glory. I only have one though so you’ll have to fight tooth and nail for your chance to win. To enter, simply submit a two million word essay about the role perler beads (which happens to be what the magnets were crafted from) play in our current society. If you don’t feel like doing that, you can always just leave a comment saying you want the magnets too I suppose.
EDIT: The winner has been notified and has accepted their prize. Congratulations to Artemis, and enjoy the awesome magnets!
Contest Specifics
The magnet set includes 2 marios (1 large, 1 small), 1 princess peach, 1 boo, 1 bullet bill, 1 goomba, 1 piranha plant, 2 clouds (1 small, 1 medium), 1 hill, 2 pipes (1 tall, 1 short), 3 mushrooms (1-up, power-up, poison), 3 coins, 2 item blocks, 1 used item block, 2 bricks, and 1 star. To enter this contest, simply leave a comment on this article. You may leave multiple comments but only your first one will be considered valid. Remember to use a working email address when leaving your comment as that is how the winner will be notified. As with the majority of my contests, I will happily ship anywhere so there are no region restrictions. Entries will be accepted until Monday, October 19th at 11:59 pm PST with the winner (as determined by a random integer generator) being notified on Tuesday, October 20th. The winner will then have three days to respond via email to claim their prize. If the winner does not respond in that time frame, another winner will then be selected. Happy commenting, and good luck!
*A special thank you to Magnet Games for donating a set of their handcrafted goodies!

Posted by Claire on October 14, 2009 at 10:19 pm
I would very much like to have those magnets for my very own fridge. Oh, the place of honor they would have, right between the expired coupons and the menu list I never stick to!
Posted by HellCat on October 14, 2009 at 10:40 pm
My mum bought them… are you takin a stab at my mum? Jealous of the 500 magnets we have on our fridge? (we actually do sadly)
I want these, for they are cool

Posted by TofuDragon7 on October 15, 2009 at 1:33 am
Yes, your right my fridge is fugly. At the moment all it has on it is a defrosting loaf, fruit bowl with only banana’s in, an empty 2 pint milk container and a blue tea bag pot which has sowing stuffs in.
They are very hard to beat bosses, need some Mario to beat them.
Posted by SkelBrute on October 15, 2009 at 8:55 am
Blue tea bag holder?
Surely you jest!
Posted by TofuDragon7 on October 15, 2009 at 11:41 am
I do not jest, it is the truth.
I have a blue tea bag pot which cotton reels and pins/needles. You have to be careful opening it or you can get a nasty prick.
Posted by JLay on October 15, 2009 at 5:09 am
Count me in please
Posted by staticrift on October 15, 2009 at 5:53 am
Very awsome!
Unfortunatly im not allowed to put magnets on the fridge so don’t give them to me. Next year (hopefully) when i move out though Im going to stick so many magnets to my future fridge it opens up a rift in the space time continum to the same fridge 20000 years in the further future, were the fridge will most likely be home to some sort of pirate penguin with lasers for eyes fighting against robotic possums. Wait.. what was i talking about?

So I’m entered now?
Posted by Suffering Bard on October 15, 2009 at 8:54 am
Since I am in fact playing Super Mario right now it is obvious that these belong with me, someone who would truly appreciate them.
Posted by SkelBrute on October 15, 2009 at 8:54 am
Our fridge is covered with girly magnets like flowers, and sunshines, and the occasional advertising magnet. My mark has not been made on my fridge, these magnificent magnetic perler bead magnets would really allow me to stake my claim on my fridge.
Posted by Ben Of Bodom UK on October 15, 2009 at 9:21 am
I’d like these, sign me up!
Posted by Nelmo Nelmz on October 15, 2009 at 11:16 am
i used to play with them things, i used to call it ‘beading’, lol.
Posted by Tactful on October 15, 2009 at 11:29 am
My fridge is bare, bare and blank like my soul. Perhaps these magnets could save me, could break this endlessly repetitive cycle. Perhaps they can free me?
From myself.
Posted by ODST Alpha on October 15, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Let me guess, time to pull out the random integer generator? Or are we doing this ‘pull-out-of-a-hat’ style?
Posted by loveslice on October 15, 2009 at 12:24 pm
I want those magnets.
Posted by Custopootimus on October 15, 2009 at 12:33 pm
I’m magnetic too. But I don’t do fridges like these plastic dawgs.
Posted by Fiesta on October 15, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I want them!
Posted by DeathCubeK on October 15, 2009 at 2:36 pm

Yay for higher odds!
