How can someone be so stupid so as to break his own Tv when playing with wii's remote controller? You are not supposed to swing it like crazy... geez...

Damn, this was my biggest concern... the wiimote flying out of my hand during a vigorous motion. Nice to see the controller is sturdy, shame about the strap though. At least Nintendo will replace it.

Strap replacement should be fine... but man, you'd think they'd have tested this stuff. TV breaking is pretty sad, I wonder if any of them will have it repalced by Nintendo.

That list doesn't include one I saw on the net years ago which was:

"Do not attempt to stop the chainsaw with your genitals."

"My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist

I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.
Heja Sverige!!
Everyone should cuffawkle more.

Imagine a really dumb guy who couldn't, for some reason, stop his chainsaw. And he attempts to stop it by holding the blade between his tighs, thus causing massive damage to his genitals. So he decides to sue the company for not having a warning on the label against such a situation. The company settles out of court and of course thinks it's better to be safe than sorry. And thus, we'd have such a warning on chainsaws. :)

"All NWN1 portraits were crappy."

 

Nintewndo should pay for the tv. They seem to have done a very poor job with their controller straps which directly led to the tv being broken.

No they shouldn't. Either way, one would have a hard time proving that the guy wasn't swinging the Wiimote around like a madman. If this was an epidemic like Xboxs overheating, catching on fire, or whatever, maybe.

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Exactly.

Besides, the game can be played simply by flickering the wrist, there is no need to actually swing in the air like a pro.

Doesn't matter. The strap shouldn't be snapping. Poor workmanship on part of Nintendo is what caused the accident to occur. They should pay for both the strap and tv.
