wndrwrthg: That’s why dogs… So, you wear and get exercise and the more like real tennis virtual tennis is the better? I outthink myself, therefore I am. I prefer real sports. This is like some Dianna Moon Blampers bulloney creeping in.
I’ve actually played with a Wii. It rewards mindless repetition. The game misses the essence of sports. Hines Ward getting mauled and still catching the pbleeep that was up for grabs, 36 yards downfield, and slapping the cornervack’s bleeep with a big smile on his face. . Nobody’s ever going to program Larry staring down Isiah and intercepting the inbound and getting it to DJ with the clock running out.
I understand there are people that don’t get sports. But Wii, give me a break. It’s like the difference between I Saw the Grand Canyon tshirts and Go Hike the Canyon tshirts. You might think you did it electronically, but try those trails for real, like out by Bright Angel through Indian Garden and out in three hours.
People will say they fought Ali or faced Bob Gibson and pretty soon they’ll believe they did. I played defense in high school against Gary Danielson, who turned out to be an excellent professional fooball player. But that’s geside the point. This virtual Bushwa demeans physical accomplishment almost everybody that isn’t a fat turd is capable of.
Also, you better put the strap around your wrist, Donna, before the controller slips out of your hand and goes through your TV screen. Didn’t you read the on-screen directions before pushing “A”?

Uh, yeah, that’s it, Pierre. Actually Pierre, if the remote is like a phallus, then why do men… oh never mind.

A logical phallusy, er… fallacy.

Tennis is one of my favorite Wii games - playing doubles is hard though, there’s alway potential for bashing into your partner.

Disturbingly true. Just be glad theres no “A” games out for the Wii.

Women like the Wii because the remote is like a phallus we can control? You mean like the real thing we can control? :D
