Not really funny to me, just sad. Sad because either

(1) it's a setup, which it clearly appears to be based on the camera angle and the guy's body languauge or

(2) it's legit and that guy really is so pathetic as to set up a tripod to make a video of himself playing bowling on a Wii.

Either way, super lame.

How do you know he wasn't trying to just make a simple home video?

I don't know. You can shoot at a Wii as much as you want, at least it's a social console.

Strange thing is that it DOES warn you to put the strap on before playing.

1. This is OLD news. This is before Nintendo beefed up the straps and put all the warnings on. Stuff like this is the reason that all the warnings are there.

Yup. What did you folks just now get Wii on the other side of the pond?

What's wrong with owning a Wii anyway? It's great for the casual gamer.
