Shaving has always been one of the less exciting bathroom activities. Wouldn’t it be so much better if it were like a video game? Well now you can pretend it is, with the Gillette Fusion Gamer razor.
The razor is supposedly designed to reduce skin irritation even when shaving against the grain, which is kind of like travelling up the pipes in Mario, I guess. Gillette are also partnering with EA sports for the Gillette EA SPORTS Champion Gamer on Xbox360 competition, which has some pretty cool prizes on offer.
And to celebrate the launch of the competition, Gillette are offering Giz readers the chance to win one of two Gillette Fusion Gamer prize packs, including the new FIFA 10 and Tiger Woods 10 games as well as the brand new Fusion Gamer razor, Gillette Fusion Hydra Gel Pure & Sensitive, and Shave Care range worth $260 each. Plus, five runners up will win a Gillette shaving pack worth $60 each.
To enter, we want you to write a limerick including the words Gillette and Gizmodo below. Comp closes Friday and winners will be announced next week. Good luck!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 10:50 AMThe once was a young gaming geek,
Who would shave only once a week.
But thanks to Gizmodo,
He had Gillette in his Comode(o).
And never so smooth was his cheek.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 11:35 AMBy winning this prize I would get;
A nice pack from Gizmodo/Gilette;
I need some more lines;
To make up the rhymes;
Alas my skills are simply to wet;

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 11:49 AMthere was a bearded Gizmodo engineer
so hairy he could no longer drink a beer
but then in rode Gillette
to whom he now owes a great debt
as he now can consume it without a crowd’s jeer

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 11:52 AMGillette is a brand we know
Whose sponsorships were designed to sow,
but Theirry Henry is a handballing athlete,
and Tiger Woods is a lady lusting cheat
so they turned to Gizmodo
to lift their name from the tallow.

Not attracted to his hairy wife
From gizmodo the plan

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 12:43 PMThere once was this guy on gizmodo
who had a hairier back than frodo
He went on a date
scared away his potential mate
and thought
“If I won that Gillette prize I’d have my mojo”

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 1:12 PMThere once was a troll named Fuzzfrodo
Whose whiskers were mucho overgrowno,
He was asked on a date
So as not to tempt fate
He shaved with his trusty Gillette Gizmodo!!
Craig Brown
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 1:31 PMThere was a reader of Gizmodo,
who sought to look like a badass mofo.
He needed the best a man can get,
which of coarse is Gillette.
Now all he needs is to win this promo.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 1:55 PMTo enter the comp from Gillette,
my post will be deleted I bet
I fancy myself a bit of a gamer,
but Nick once called me a lamer,
Daily I troll on Gizmodo

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 3:29 PMThere was a young man from Tibet
Whose face was a hairy car-pet
A prize from Gizmodo
Would help stop his beard grow
All thanks to the guys from Gillette

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 4:13 PMIf I win a prize,
that would be totally cool,
‘cos Gizmodo is even cooler,
followed close by Gilette,
who is also not a fool.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 5:10 PMDamn that late 5′o shadow
Not to mention that feeble Mo
Gizmodo rushes to the plate
Teamed with Gillette to save that epic date
… for she will never know.

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 7:42 PMIf shaving cream were vodka and I were a duck,
I’d Shave my bottom and never shave up,
But shaving cream is not vodka and i’m not a duck,’
So hand me a razor and shut up!

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 7:52 PMI have balls with lots of hair
I drop my pants; the ladies stare
It is annoying when crumbs get stuck
Win a gillete; that’d be just my luck

Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 11:02 PMSilly Gillette Fusion…
Is a marketing illusion
Five blades is a joke
To the average bloke
When I need a shave
The dollars I’ll save
If I dont go for Gillete’s dillusion.

Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 12:22 AMThere was a golf star who represented Gillette
A lot of action did his big black Wood get
While driving his balls towards the hole
a busty blonde moaned ‘Ohh Woah’
when she heard about Natal on Gizmodo.
(you all have dirty minds).

Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 12:42 AMThere once was a reader of Gizmodo
Who took starting to look like Mr Frodo
His face was still wet,
he reached for his gillette
to make sure he looked hot for his photo
Richard Barlow
Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 1:21 PMThere was young man from Gizmodo
Whose feet were well hairy, like Frodo
But after he met
The guys at Gillette
They were smooth as the beak of a dodo

Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 3:51 PMGillette decided to move on
when the tiger became less strong
People thought they were lamer
when they focused on gamers
Now try using a razor while playing pong
Kim Cassidy
Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 5:01 PMThe gamer needed all the help he could get
So he relied on instinct and picked up his Gillette.
With some grooming advice he’d read in Gizmodo
He emerged looking slick, and no longer a hobo.
