I know that there's already an official Wii topic, but this is just so funny that it deserves its own.

Wiimote-proof your TV!

Lmao, the Wiishield.
What will they think of next?
-
LOL! WTB right now!
-
Or you could hang on to it and use the wrist-strap.
Just throwing that out there.
-
LOL that is funny.
I find it strange how people who wear the wrist strap have done more damage than I have. I've never worn the thing and never damaged anything, must be a bad luck charm.
-
I wanna see someone test that thing out. lol
what are they trying to show in that circle? it's not very clear. looks like the side of soemthing….the TV? Way to go Marketing/Graphic Design department.
-
I don't got a wii, but I presume if I ever was swinging something around I'd be gripping the living shit out of it. And honestly, if your palms are sweating then you need to fricken stop playing the thing, I've never got sweaty palms from something like that.
-
Which reminds me of those stupid controllers with built in fans to keep your hands cool and sweat free.
-
Yeah, I've seen those. Wth man? Seriously, if their hands sweat like that they shouldn't fricken be holding something in them, period.
-
Wiisword.
lulz

My friend's mom bought him one of those for christmas, and the fan broke 2 days later… I found that to be rather hilarious.
-
Don't worry, I'm sure the consumers will find a new way to fuck up their TVs with the Wiimote.
-
Oh sure your TV is protected. But that 2500$ stereo looks pretty vulnerable.
-
We've been over this.
But companies continue to make stupid stuff like this.
Notice they are foreign though, and by Foreign, I mean not Japan or US or major European countries. The companies in those countries don't seem to understand the needs in other countries, or their own for that matter.
If you have sweat hands, pause/save and take a break. Or wipe your hands.
You don't need to swing hard. You can do small movements.
If you know you'll get sweaty hands, use gloves, or get a Wiimote cover.
And if you somehow are too stupid or lazy to not do that, try not to aim directly at your TV.
Whoever buys this is either a total loser, or some gamer's mom who doesn't get it/is worried about her son's TV because he owns a Wii. And if it actually gets used, it's because they don't want to disappoint the person who was stupid enough to buy it for them.
-
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in very large numbers.
Or the market that caters towards that demographic.
-
Yeah, but most people who buy this stuff are idiots who don't need it.
It's the stupid people that need it that don't often buy this sort of stuff.
-
more like stupid people with lots of money, who need to buy as much crap as possible, so they look the coolest. If then cay buy a Wii accessory that no one else has, well, that's just "one more cow in their field"
