Wii have a problem...

There's an awesome new website called Wiihaveaproblem.com that documents the stunning destruction people have wrought on their living rooms while playing the new Nintendo Wii.

In case you don't follow this stuff, the new technology in this system is that you don't just push buttons on the controller, you swing it around like you're actually wielding a sword, throwing a pitch, etc. However, it seems that Nintendo did not anticipate the sheer fury with which Americans go about their living room gyrations, and only built in a dainty little strap that can easily snap off.

Consequently, the controllers ("Wiimotes") are being flung every which way, causing all kinds of havoc.

Here's one example -- a person who managed to impale his own TV with a controller while playing a bowling game on the Wii:



Another poor soul who destroyed her TV during a game of Wii reports:

"You read those little blurbs on various video game blogs about how some punk threw their Wiimote at their friend's TV and think, "Harhar, that guy must've had the coordination of a stroke patient. What an idiot!" Well, guess who feels like a complete and utter douchebag? *raises hand*

Words cannot describe how stupendously retarded I feel at the moment. It's like when you read one of those ridiculous Penthouse letters and think that it could never happen to you, and then surprisingly find yourself in an orgy with some dirty white trash, the dirty white trash's mother, a midget, and a guy named Pablo. Except this doesn't involve any naked chicks or a penis that is way out of proportion to its owner's body. Nope. This just involves a broken Wiimote strap, a broken tv, and a broken heart. =(
