Seen on Fox: Doctors Warn: Wii Puts 10 In Hospital Every Week
I don't even need to read this to know how bogus this statistic is. I mean, sure, it may very well be true that the Wii is responsible for 520 hospital-grade injuries a year.
But tripping over our 20-pound cat could put me in the hospital, too, and I do that on a regular basis. I discovered I had diverticulosis by eating a pepperoni pizza and ending up in the emergency room a week later because I hadn't been able to shit for a week. (highlight to see TMI about me) And in turn that put me into the hospital a couple of weeks ago for a colonoscopy that cost well north of 2 grand. (Thank God for insurance.)
Watch Tom Bergeron's America's Funniest Home Videos once and guess how many of those people end up in the emergency room. And most of them are doing those things on purpose. And these are only the ones that made the cut for the show...
Okay, I just read the article. Wii-itis? Wii-knee?
Doctors -- find something else to get upset about. Please.
