So I was listening to an episode of the "Lazlow Show" (The guy from Grand Theft Auto, You know!?) and he was talking about people smashing thier 60" projection TV's with the wii controller, either the strap breaking, or them just letting go. Check out

"Oh Noes!

According to the site, the bowling game is to blame. Looks like the girl who was hit by her boyfriends wii-mote got a strike.

In other Wii Related news, THIS GUY waiting in line! He seems to have multiple chins, AND multiple speech impediments! Lets just hope he didn't get TOO into zelda swinging that sward  around!

and by the way, he says he is "hopped up" on demerol, then it is in fact a narcotic pain reliever that makes you VERY VERY sleepy. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic/meper_ad.htm

  riiiight, i fought Links bosses whilst sitting my my computer chair in my office, and to hit somebody by mistake when you are drunk, probably happens to people everyday everywhere.  Those straps are like little nylon woven ropes, mine will not brake.  I hate the ways people come up with to get attention of this machine.  It's the best video game system i have ever seen in action.  The Wii is awesome.

Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. If getting the high score involves punching your girlfriend in the face, well, she should feel good to be involved.

I want a contoller that looks like a handgun.  That would be good for the kids: "Wowoweewah!  When I shoot the TV, I really shoot it!!"

I'm passing on the Wii, for now... I understand with the exception of Nintendo's own games (which are made for it) the nifty controller doesn't add as much as it seems.  And all the extra features like digital picture viewer aren't nothing a PC already has.  They're trying to make it a catch-all device but all I want is the zombie's head to explode in the proper fashion.

So Lazlow's a real guy, then?

"When I shoot the TV, I really shoot it!!"

Unavailible for comment:

[ghostman]

Nah, it's not real enough.  But better than this:

Remember the Nerf vs. Sega wars?  ...Ya don't?

[trevelyn]

"Wowoweewah!" like Borat!! yeah, frog is right, if you're fighting a Boss usually your blood pressures up, your mind is going, your focus is like a Tiger, and you are capable of doing anything to win.

Yeah, he's been to the past 2 or 3 HOPE conferences.

I bought his box set of podcasts, (all on 1 dvd) and It's AUTOGRAPHED by Lazlow, Big Wayne, and REED TUCKER! The autograph was the main reason I bought it, I mean, reed tucker, HE IS IN A VIDEO GAME! for almost 3 minutes!

this is prototype i think, but the Wiimote slides into the front of it, sweet!!

[ghostman]

It's now official, then... they're doing a recall on the wrist thingies. http://insidethevibe.com/?p=532 24% fail rate?  At least they're trying to make amends... this isn't as bad as say, a system claiming to be able to play most of its own archive. 
My ?: When are they going stop beating around the bush + make THE nunchuku game?

EB games has a poster on the recall
