"Parfum" and "perfume" don't mean the same thing, either. Just thought I'd throw it out there for when you run an article on Alchemilla For Men - Eau de Toilette, the cologne that smells like undead nurse cleavage. "Mmmm, gamey!" *shudder*
I believe that the concept at play here is that of guilt. Pyramid Head is fulfilling its function as a manisfestation of guilt and is here juxtaposed with fashion, a guilty pleasurof many of us.
The imagery comes together and plays on our own feelings of guilt. The Pyramid Head model is the focus for this emotion and serves a dual role representing an image of high fashion that we both strive to emulate and yet feel guilty for (guilt for our desire to achieve this pinnacle and also for our envy of the model who has already attained that which we are reaching for).
The answer is clear... purchase a pair of pink jeans called "Smell".
Although I'm pretty sure they're only selling the pants and not the pyramid head, there's just no explaining what some people consider fashionable.
Sunglasses indoors for instance. As a basketball fan, I hate the Lakers not for a dislike of Kobe, or because I'm envious of their success. No, I hate watching Lakers games because of the celebrities that are on camera ad-nauseum, wearing said sunglasses.
@Mike8813: There's also a difference between runway fashion and street fashion adding further confusion to the mix.
I really wish we'd see more runway fashion in the real world. Everyone would either look like they're from outer space, the future, or a trash can. Or some kind of combination of those three things.
@Sir-Lucius is sappin' your sentry: "I really wish we'd see more runway fashion in the real world. Everyone would either look like they're from outer space, the future, or a trash can."
lol nice. Although trash cans make my legs look too skinny.
@Edairu wants a Phantom Dust 2!: Yes it's real. It's just one of the many endings (I think there's 4?). Every Silent Hill has at least one joke ending. Oh wait except for 4.
@Sir-Lucius is sappin' your sentry: I believe the idea is that the pyramid would somehow mask, or 'disguise', if you will, his identity. But I could be wrong.
It has been previously discovered that this 'DarkSonic999', through the amount of inane stupid comments he has made (without getting banned, I might add), is actually just an AIM Chatbot from the late 90's era gone rogue, ala Skynet. But being made by AIM, it is limited in scope to just annoying the piss out of the internet in general, and the Kotaku eds have taken pity on it and let it hang around.
You call yourself a fan of the Spy? Ok, clearly, this needs a little bit of explaining
There was more in that statement, replacing 'bride', with 'widow', then you understand. So I guess I have to explain it to you because you won't figure it yourself I suppose.
Pyramid Heads are dead, as in, not living. Plus, they like to kill people. Someone confusing me for a widow, because widows wear black veils when their 'spouse' is dead. Last I checked, males can't be widows. So, if i wore the helmet and killed someone, and if pyramid heads were real, they'd confuse me for a widow.
@DarkSonic999: As a guy who has botched many a joke over the years, trust me: don't try to create an explanation for the joke after it fails and you've realized that it doesn't make sense after all. Just count your losses and move on.
Scrambling to save face by coming up with an incomprehensible explanation so that you can pin the fault on the ones who called you out by pretending that they're just too stupid to get the punchline NEVER works.

4 had a weird UFO ending that was a joke ending.
06/21/09
Whatshername dies + Infected house
Whatshername dies + Clean House
Whatshername lives + Infected house
Whatshername lives + Clean house
No joke ending on 4.
SH3 had only 3 endings:
Blondes have more fun
Heather the killer
UFO
Maybe THAT is what you were thinking of.
