Wired News: The Wii Is a Plastic Box of Death

Wired News: The Wii Is a Plastic Box of Death

Lore Sjobert (sorry, I don't have the umlaut on my keybord for the o) has written a very entertaining article about how the Nintendo Wii (or "the Murder Appliance" as he calls it) has changed video games to transform troubled and not-so-troubled youth into murdering gang members. As a Wii owner, I find this hilarious. I am somewhat surprised that this was written for Wired and not for theonion.com.
He talks about how the controller could be more popular than the Glock if it were more plentiful. Also, the Wii Sports games encourage gamers to be more active and so they could actually join gangs and "be mobile for a while."

Now if only we could get more Wii gamers to hold on to their controllers a little harder.
