   Big knives

   That's as ridiculous as suing the maker of a large kitchen knife just because some nutcase goes around stabbing people with it.

   Maybe the Girl Scouts are to blame

   Maybe it's the problem with the addiction to Girl Scout Cookies

   Can't sue Nintendo for being a psychopath, maybe your parents, but not Nintendo.

   Re: Maybe the Girl Scouts are to blame

   i agree...sue the girl scouts...those damn cookies are addictive, anyways they can probably afford a lawsuit more than nintendo of america now since they dont have any patent infringement cases to defend in east Texas

    uh... duh?

    It doesn't say anything in the post about placing fault or suing anybody. It just says that the guy is accused of trying to strangle her with it.

    If it wasn't a Wii stap, It would've been something else like a shirt, rope, whatever. It doesn't mean the controller or strap is dangerous, recklessness is what is dangerous.

    The biggest "pain" is shelling out $250 for this PoS.

    Okay, a bit harsh, but really, where the hell are the games?
    I own this system and I'm still recouping spending over $500 on this thing, which sits and collects dust while I wait and wait for games I like to be released (if ever).
    
    In the meantime, I'll just have to wait until after Nintendo re-releases damn near every GameCube game for the Wii because, you know, it's not like it's backward compatible or anything and idiots need a "simpler" controller to play them.
    
    *sigh*

    Er, does not seem likely

    I mean, have you seen the wii strap? They are something like 8 inches long. That girl is either a freak of nature or it did not happen. Maybe he strangled her with the nunchuk cord?
    
    Hey Twinrova, the wii IS backward compatable with the game cube, just put the discs in and they play. You can even plug your GC controler right in to the wii. *sigh*

    Uhm... First, if the system is $250 and there are no games you want out, how'd you end up paying $500 for it?
    
    And second, it, uh, IS backwards compatible. Came Cube discs can be read and the old controllers plug into the top.

    If you ban Wii's, only criminals will have Wii's.
    
    My guess is that the guy at her Carmel Delights. You could take my Thin Mints (although they are awesome crushed up and put in a MilkShake) but mess with my Carmel Delights?

    Re: suing lawyers

    There's a lawyer ad on TV that comes on really, Really, REALLY LOUD. It hurt my ears. It scared my birds. I fell down and I couldn't get up.
    
    Can I sue him?
