... who need to learn to control their bodies.

That is what I think of when we hear about people breaking wiimotes / TVs / HDTVs / lamps / etc. while playing the Wii.  I hear people sueing N because their straps on the wiimote broke and that is what caused damage to their stuff.

No.  By being a spaz and flinging your arms around like a moron is what broke your stuff.

I have been playing the Wii since Dec. 26 and never have I lost grip of my wiimote.  Now, I have swung my arm and popped my daughter in the head because we were not paying attention.  But, that was our fault.  Also, my wife, three girls (ages 6, 6 1/2 and 12) and my mother-in-law all have spent time playing the Wii.  Never once have they had the wiimote "slip" out of their hands.

After spending time with the Wii, I know know what the guys at Penny Arcade were talking about.  Enjoy and laugh:

Love Penny Arcade

Actually, this is the Wii strip you want to go with your post:

This is just hearsay, but I heard that a lot of the people who have broken their TVs with a wiimote were drunk at the time.

My friend who has a Wii says that you would have to be a complete moron to break your TV with a wiimote.

People just need to be more careful.  Suing Nintendo because someone broke their own TV is moronic, and just another reason for me to hate the US legal system.
