Everything starts with a joke

However, Smart people discovered that a penis-like look could be achieved by combining a beige hot dog costume with a pink pumpkin hat. The find caused so much controversy in the community that the team behind the title decided to take action.

If misuse does occur, we will remove the hot dog and pumpkin accessories. We want to create a safe and friendly environment for our players (…) – Zac, developer for Dress to Impress X.
