Ow-Wii
A lot of people are getting hurt trying to get fit with the new Wii Nintendo Fit program. Apparently people have been doing a ton of damage, sending their knicknacks, TV sets, even their pets flying through the air as they try to mimic the work-out routines. This story literally made me laugh out loud, because I can totally relate. I haven’t sent my dog flying through the air, but I have injured myself, and not even doing the Fit program. I hate to admit this, but I hurt myself using the Wii bowling game. I guess I got a little too involved, and yes, I pulled my hamstring. Apparently, I need the Fit program. I’m not the only one who’s been injured playing with the Wii. Our Morning Show Editor Radana Suk came into work one day barely able to move her head because she got a little overzealous with her victory dance. Can you say “poor winner?” And never in a million years did I think I’d actually witness furniture being broken, but it happened. My girlfriends and I were in Fernie for New Years and we decided to pull out the Wii. We got into a really heated game of bowling and all of a sudden it happened - the battery cover let loose, batteries went flying and we ended up with a broken vase and dents in the ceiling! Everyone was hitting the deck and running for cover, trying to avoid being hit by a stray battery. Despite the injuries, I’m not ready to put down my Wii remote. I do think from now on though, I’ll be limbering up before I get down to business. Oh, and I can’t forget to strap down the dogs!
