When I first heard that folks got injured while playing with their Wii, I thought to myself: what kind of retarded individual does it take to actually cut off his leg, break his neck or suffer from instant dihareea from just toying with the Wiimote? I've got my fair share of... Wii experience, almost busted a friend's TV plasma set once, but that was because I was so wasted I couldn't even spell "loli", and I can tell you it's *almost* impossible to get hurt. Oh well, I guess some are more clumsy than others.

Why mentioning the Wii? Because it seems Japanese manufacturers just love to get themselves into these sorts of troubles - recently, an arcade game called Arm Spirit, who would challenge you to an arm wrestling contest, was retracted from the market after reports of 3 individuals breaking their arms while using it came in. The machine's producer is naturally astounded:

"The machine isn't that strong, much less so than a muscular man. Even women should be able to beat it."

That's exactly like saying: "If those idiots couldn't handle the Arm Spirit, they deserved it. Nyah-nyah". But if that is true and the machine itself fights like a baby girl, then I must repeat my question: How the hell can you fucking break your arm like that? It's not that easy to break an arm, you know. One must put passion into the process.
