- macmcraeart, on 12/20/2008, -1/+50A "weenie" epidemic? Sounds painful..
- Trollbane, on 12/21/2008, -0/+37I agree with FXexpert525; the reply button is overrated.
- inactive, on 12/21/2008, -2/+18***** casuals
- lostonimpact, on 12/20/2008, -4/+18Yeah right, people just over do it - jumping up and down or swinging wildly. Or you could just go play some real soccer or football for good exercise.
- jdbaok, on 12/21/2008, -2/+15The more Wii injuries the better! We finally get a game that gets people off their asses and doctors start complaining. I think the real problem is that they are afraid the Wii will get people back in shape and cut down on their clientele. Or maybe we could start another medical specialty - Wii Medicine.
- vsujohn2, on 12/21/2008, -1/+11Or it could be that lardtards that wouldn't have normally done any kind of exercise, start doing some because of the wii but they overdo it. And if you go from zero exercise to a lot in a short period of time you're gonna have some pains. Moderation is the key.
- isunktheship, on 12/21/2008, -1/+9Actually I hear real sports also put you at risk of getting injured, even though it's obvious that they are safer than sports on a wii.
/s - KayakJim, on 12/20/2008, -3/+11Perhaps if people were not so darn lazy and out of shape in general there wouldn't get injured for doing something simple like getting off the couch.
- mwace, on 12/21/2008, -0/+5Breaking: People could possibly injure themselves while they exercise for the first time in decades.
I ***** swear, some group of fools are going to bring about an article titled "Doctors fear having sex could lead to bumps and physical exhaustion" and that will finally finish off this goddamn era of pansies. - AFelsinger, on 12/20/2008, -0/+5I guess it's because people who are totally out of shape are more willing to play Wii than actually go outside?
- Rfscooter, on 12/21/2008, -2/+7Playing too much tennis or golf on the computer could be bad for your health, doctors said yesterday as they predicted a rise in the number of "Wii injuries" over Christmas
The wii is not a computer!!! - companionsphere, on 12/21/2008, -1/+6I didn't know the Wii counted as a computer...
- bieber, on 12/21/2008, -0/+5Will you quit with your liberal hippy ***** radicalism already? We're America, damn it, we don't need to exercise.
- Agentdvd, on 12/21/2008, -0/+4Oh onion.
*clicks link*
Wait, this is real? - rjwisniewski, on 12/21/2008, -1/+5The Wii is a computer...
A computer is a programmable machine. The two principal characteristics of a computer are:
1) It responds to a specific set of instructions in a well-defined manner.
2) It can execute a prerecorded list of instructions (a program). - youannoyme, on 12/21/2008, -3/+7Actually...it is...
But agreed, calling it one is misleading in this context. - rft3rd, on 12/21/2008, -0/+4Well now you know.. And knowing is half the battle.
- compgeek, on 12/21/2008, -0/+4Weenie injuries? guess that means less jacking off
- Murdats, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3do soccer/football/tennis players never get injured? swimmers, runners, joggers never get injured?
- infinigtr, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3haha took me a second, but I see what you did there.
- Sil369, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3but then a new study will come out saying going out to play sports after the wii will give u spasms and such
- CrudOMatic, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3Wii Knee! Wii Knee! Dugg for penis innuendo.
- Tyrghast, on 12/21/2008, -0/+3Wii games + alcohol = good times...
- loggedout, on 12/21/2008, -1/+4I just have to shake my head at something like this. Some doctors/studies are just plain pathetic. Every little detail of our lives is a "danger" to our health. We all try to protect us from ourselves. The human race is too smart for itself, yet still people are generally stupid.
- EASwanson, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2I predict the number of Wii controllers going into TVs over x-mas to rise too.
- Sil369, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Wii Knii
- tmike7223, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2is that similar to a Wiinis epidemic?
- Evi1d33d, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2If I'm a doctor then I'll be looking forward to make some money. Same way as how dentists love Halloween.
- grungegbunny, on 12/21/2008, -1/+3Wii is WAY too dangerous! Get the kids outside to play something safe like american football or something.
- inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2I agree with Trollbane, and will not be using the reply button anymore.
- prchamp, on 12/20/2008, -2/+4They just need to get used to it. Your body will adjust as needed. Especially if they haven't been active for a while, but moderation is key.
- wibambau, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2My Nii hurts.
- boonesfarm, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2If your "Wiinie" hurts, you're doing it wrong.
.....Although, if there's force-feedback........hmmm... gotta go.... - inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Except that people who play Wii Sport and Wii Play don't want "real sports", otherwise they'd be outside.
What they want is to spend an evening with family and friends with something else to do than playing canasta. - rjwisniewski, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Yet, the point of the Wii is to get up and move. So how about you STFU. Some people like to play the Wii standing and moving.
- Asianwaste, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2The worst pain I ever got from a videogame was from that Police 911 rail shooter arcade.
You can lean your body and the camera tilts according to how you move. It's great because you can seek immediate cover from bullets instead of simply trying to quick shoot everyone. It was an awesome machine.
The only problem is, your feet have to stay planted like you're snow boarding. Otherwise it does not sense your movement accurately. You don't realize how many squats you do in a matter of minutes. I must have pumped in dollars worth in that game and the next day I paid for it again.
I can guarantee this supposed "Wii Knee" is nowhere near the pain I got from Police 911. - inactive, on 12/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah because going to play a game of soccer on a Saturday evening after ordering a couple of pizzas with friends is always such a hit!
- dheaddy, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1*Wiinjuries
- ryan83189, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1What I want to know is who is conducting the two glasses of wine helps-everything-miracle-cure studies. Every week the news reports on one of these ***** studies.
- ryan83189, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Fuji golf never did this to anybody.
- Jinstevens, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1If I got injured playing a video game, I guarantee I would never admit it. How humiliating.
- rjwisniewski, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1Exactly. My family plays tons of sports outdoors, but sometimes it's fun to just have a Wii night.
- inactive, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2I'd like to see a 'hard-core' fat zit covered, pre-teen barely able to get off the sofa halo junkie swing the wiimote. It would be funny.
- DonnaChmura, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1The first Wii injuries were to television sets as people let the remotes go flying. They had to improve the remotes. Just goes to show how sedentary we've become.
- Asianwaste, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1It's between your legs.
- Murdats, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1don't blame the scientist for this, blame the crappy media finding what they want to and creating news where there is none when there is plenty of real news around.
- max1018, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1You will never win.
- rjwisniewski, on 12/21/2008, -0/+1The point of the Wii is to not sit on the sofa while you play the sports games.
- thegreatsam, on 12/21/2008, -1/+2The whatnow?
