Slog - Comments on Ribbed For Whose Pleasure? http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/ribbed_for_whose_pleasure In an alarming move to further erode the public's responsibilities about, well, anything, Nintendo has begun giving away cushy little jackets for their Wii console's remote controllers. You know, the little white controllers that walk around the house when you're asleep and gouge themselves into flat-screen TVs? My guess is, Nintendo's legal department decided that last year's "threw the remote while playing Wii Bowling" stories had enough merit to potentially spark a class-action lawsuit. You know, a lawsuit that ignores the millions of warnings that ship with: * the Wii system; * each Wii game; * the start-up screen for...

It's gonna be a fun weekend when these show up!

"Nintendo Corp. was hit with a class-action lawsuit today, brought on behalf of some six thousand members of an online "extreme body-modification" social group, who asserted the company's "Wii controller jackets" caused severe testicular abrasions when used as prophylactic devices.

Meanwhile, another four hundred members of the same group filed a counter-suit, claiming the so-called abrasions, and subsequent genital swelling, were 'actually quite pleasurable'..."
