    well considering that the wii is an inanimate object. i would suggest that the people going berzerk with the Wii controllers need to be controlled.

    its not going to be long before the lawsuits start.. if they havent already cuz little johnny went hyper with a controller and killed the cat or something...

    It would seem obvious to me that in order to play wii you must have a really large free space ree of any objects to play it properly or with vigor. Realistically how many people have a place like that in their homes?
    I also think that if your uncooridinated enough to not be able to hold on to the controller and let it fly out of your hand as many have done then you should not be legally allowed to own a wii.

    Pesonally I would rather play the real games that the system simulates!

    Did someone mention lawsuits? They are here already as evidenced by this class action suit.

    Wii owners can already go to the nintendo website and get a replacement strap for free.

    they are recalling the first 3 million straps.

    I use Heavy cut rubbing compound for deep scratches, then remove haze with 3M plastic polish or McGuires plastiX available from auto part places, I also use a foam wheel on a variable speed drill to reduce the elbow grease required.
    This is how I recondition the belly glass I am using for the wall lights. The belly glass come out looking polished and squeaky clean.
    I also clean the tar and nicotine off the back so they don't stink.

    No,No,No, it's the Wii thats the problem!!! we'll start with a registration then move on to background check and a waiting period.Canada, England ,Australia and California have already banned them completely, in an attempt to keep the public safe.
    unfortunately they found out too late that the morons who get hurt with these don't care about their laws and they just get them illegally anyway, but now lots of innocent bystanders are being hurt because they are living under the false impression that their govt. has taken care of the problem and is capable of defending them against the crazies.
    they also found that people have even more 'incidents' with
    Scrabble boards and crossword puzzle books ( the less dangerous replacements). So now they have taken to classifying these Wii incidents in other categories such as domestic violence and hate crimes to cover up the true fact that their laws have failed, in fact it has now left the law abiding citizens open to virtually any abuse.
    but the most of the brainless public has been tricked into believing they are safer. so go ahead pass some other stupid laws.

    I'm sure you've all seen these joke things:

    I think they need to make a version with a Wii controller. People could stick them on their flat panel TVs.
