Please hold my Wii Wii

Is that superman sign real or photoshopped? It's true that you do super human amount of work at your job. (or is it subhuman? hahaha) Oh yeah, while we're talking about your work, where's our damned microwave oven!!

But let's talk about Wii. (pronounced "We") You guys probably heard of Nintendo: Revolution, the next generation console coming out from Nintendo with funky controllers. Revolution was a code name of course, like the Game Cube was called Dolphin initially. Nintendo announced that the real name of the Revolution will be Wii. Weeeee. We? I think this link pretty sums it up for me:

I feel like this is a product of having gone through too many marketting task groups that it lost touch with reality. I mean, I understand where they are coming from. It's a neat idea for a name, I like the symbolisms, but Weeeee? Can you imagine telling your friends. "Hey guys, come over tonight and let's all play with my Weee." Come on, it makes you sound like a pedophile. But hey, it's generating all this media buzz, so maybe it's not a bad thing. No publicity is bad publicity right?

I can just see the Japanese reviews coming in. "American XBox sooooo much bigga den Japanese Wee."
