Here’s a photo sent in by a reader. Can you spot what’s SEGA about it? CLUE: It’s not the general sense of decay, or anything as obvious as “the sky”.

“Hello there. I was in Malta last year, and I just noticed Sonic has appeared in one of the photos. Now, he’s very small and distant, but I’m sure it’s him. I thought you might like it to play a sort of ‘Where’s Wally?’ with it. Perhaps not though, you might just want to pretend you never saw it. I’ll leave it up to you” – Chloe.

That’s what’s SEGA about it!

REASON FOR SALE: None given. Suspect shop owner has decided to target a more profitable and active demographic, or has maybe closed down, or has just given up, or needs the additional display space for more crates of ‘Just Dance’.

That thumb’s got to be just about the right size.

“Two more examples of SEGA eBay ‘goodness’. If we make over a grand from either of them you can have a fiver” – Axel, GameXchange.co.uk.

Iron Man apparently has “paint wear to legs, buttocks and back”.

REASON FOR SALE: “If, like me, you loved playing the Sonic games on the Megadrive when you were young then don’t miss your chance to own a super funky pyjama bottom – you will cherish it forever! It will make a super gift for a trendy guy that appreciates all things retro!”

Basically we’re just dropping hints.

Seem to be different ones than that ASOS pair. They also come in proper sizes , but you only seem to get ONE PAIR for for nearly £13. Still, imagine how the ladies will react when they get a glimpse of the “SONIC THE HEDGEHOG” logo peeping out above your trouser waistband.

And, unsurprisingly, he would prefer it if we didn’t use his name or email address or even hinted at what part of the country he lives in. And his words were typed into his email software by an actor, so don’t go trying to work out who he is by his typing style. We’ve been caught out like that on more than one occasion.

We’ve also photoshopped the original image, in which the man was revealing his substantially proportioned penis through a hole in the suit.

“Erm, have a look at this, from a popular site where ‘kinky’ homosexualists meet other ‘kinky’ homosexualists. This gentleman appears to be into ‘full rubber coverage’, and Sonic The Hedgehog. In my opinion this is normal compared to the man who gets off on scooter engines ticking over but not starting. Each to their own, eh! Please don’t print my email or name” – Mr Non-rubber Lover.

They only come in “extra small” so if you’re weak and shriveled get in there.

Sent in by a man called “Charlie Tollemache”. And yes, we did these before, but back when they were seven quid. And no man we know would ever spend seven quid on ONE pair of pants – we’d expect to get a pack of 10 for that.

Wouldn’t mind one of those basketballs for a birthday, if you’re reading this in your riverside apartment MR NICE SUGAR DADDY.

And a hammer, although it looks like you’d struggle to inflict any meaningful damage with that. You’d probably have to hold the hammer’s head and use the shaft as a poking weapon and then strangle them with the cord. Offer ends 31 March, so get in there quick.

They’re embedded on the Sonic 4 site, so here’s a screen capture of just the one. It’s too late in the day to go writing captions for eight screenshots taken within 30 seconds of each other in the same level – ARE WE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO WRITE CAPTIONS FOR A LIVING?

Turn your speakers off if you’re going to click on that link. It’s a noisy bloody site. People will think you’re playing games instead of merely looking at them – an important distinction in many industrial tribunals.

We got sent this photo of some bananas. Several times. We suspect (well, KNOW) it’s a promotional activity from SEGA, but the submitter seems to be suggesting he just happened to spot them on some bananas in his kitchen.

We replied asking “Are they promotional SEGA bananas you got from SEGA?” and he replied sending another photo taken at a higher resolution. So here it is. We’ll probably never get to the bottom of this.

“Some game with some kind of animal from some weird company published on that strange white thing that I found out about when I was about to eat a banana. As you can see those bananas spent some time at my kitchen and I only noticed now that there is…(insert previous sentence)” – Dmitry.

UPDATE: BANANAS CONFIRMED AS “REAL”
“The Monkey Ball stickers on Dole bananas are a real thing. My girlfriend was cooking dinner last night and I saw one on a freshly purchased bunch from the Safeway in Redmond, Washington. I wanted to jump up and down and say “AHHH MONKEY BALL!!! I LOVE SEGA” and start singing one of the raps from Metropolis Street Racer but managed to contain myself. I think the banana was significantly more delicious than other non-SEGA-branded bananas though” – Colin.

Sorry, everyone, this week would appear to have become Alternate-Colour Sonic Clones Off The Internet Week.

“Green Sonic is a commercial whore. Here he is acting as the corporate mascot for a truck manufacturer in Southern China. The sell out that he is” – Chris.

“Gee Sonic, you really oughta cut down on those chilli dogs!”

“Whilst idly fiddling around the internet earlier I found this. Apparently they also do “Papryka konserwowa”. Not sure if “konserwowa” is part of the name or a description (it looks like a description but I don’t speak made-up languages). I also noticed that Galileo has stolen the Adidas logo. And its name. I’m still trying to think up a joke for the jar of pickles so you’re definitely not getting one for the Papryka” – Oli.
