the cover of the first issue of gamefan. Note who's touching... tv-head man.

Are they trying to imply that Bonk (and by extension, the TG16) is  :shock: ghey?

There's no reason to be paranoid. Bonk swang both ways, for sure. So did most mascots back in the day. It's part of their allure and charm.

We, the gaming community, have warmly embraced this.

TTi tried to disguise the truth about Bonk, but it didn't work.

Also, the link above is dead.

You know most of the mascots were just saying they were bi, because it was the cool thing to be at the time. Sort of like the whole Iggy and Bowie thing.

I'm a little late to the party, but why do you think Bonk gets so excited when he gets meat in his mouth?  I think it's obvious.  Doesn't mean he doesn't rock, tho.

 I was thinking more along the lines of rocking the Casbah, but that works too :)
