Crazy Glue + Wii-Mote = Ooohhhh Boy

by BB

I thought I’ve seen it all, but this news article really makes me question the sanity of Japanese youths. Allow me to explain…

Recently, there has been a huge buzz all over the internet pertaining to the strap connected to the Wii-mote. Some people are playing for hours and sweating up a storm. And unfortunately, some people have lost their grips on the controllers and have had some serious accidents.

Kids in Japan have taken the innovative approach of using superglue to attach the Wii-mote to their hands. Parents see the approach as silly and dangerous, but teens in Japan see being Wii-handed as a status symbol.

“I like the Wii controller permanently on my hand. I never have to search for it, and the other kids think it is cool,” said Yugi Tamagotchi of Tokyo.

[Update: Boy, do I feel like an ass. I wasn't aware that BBSpot was a satirical website. So basically, this news article is false. But I wouldn't doubt it for a second if it came from a reputable source ;) ]

    I woudln’t feel so bad. I’ve never heard of BBspot before this point. Real newspapers have run with stories from The Onion, thinking it was a real newspaper.

    …what about other types of games that require you to use the Wiimote in a different fashion? >_>
