Picture this. You're lining up the perfect shot in Wii Bowling, remote in hand. You set up the shot, swing the remote with all the strength you can muster, and... follow through a little more than you intended.
Tuesday starts the weekend... YAYAYA!!!!

-- I guess just they should wear wrist strap if it ain't broken or get a better strap/different one if it is or does break.

I love Penny Arcade.

Oh, and if the mods don't mind a children's charity site link, please consider Child's Play.

Remember back in the day when a bunch of people were complaining that the part in Mario Party (the original, for the N64) where you put your palm on the joystick and rotate it as fast as you can was causing the joystick knob to dig into their skin and make them bleed?

Of course, this means the Wii sucks.  It can't be that the people breaking their TVs with it are just idiots.

My cousin got blisters from playing the "Monkey Boxing" minigame in Ape Escape for Playstation.

People were using their palms, so they could spin faster, and it was giving people blisters. With proof of purchase, you got a free "gaming glove" which was a plain white glove.

So why is the t.v breaking thing really happening? Are they losing their grip on the controller or their grip on life?
