Art Contest: Fix the Nintendo 3DS's red screen of death

Apparently this is the Nintendo 3DS's red screen of death. Kind of hard to believe that in 2011, Nintendo would design such a cold message instead of its own version of the Fail Whale.

Your challenge is to create a delightful error page for the Nintendo 3DS. As inspiration, check out the creatures The Oatmeal created for Tumblr:



Submit as many entries as you'd like. All entries must be submitted by midnight Los Angeles time Sunday May 8, 2011. Best entry will win a $100 Threadless credit.

And of course, you can buy the 3DS at Amazon.
