There once was a Wii Player who lived in a shoe box....

This was in an email sent to me today from ThinkGeek.

Everyone loves the Wii. The games are fun, the graphics are sweet, and the Wiimote has created some of the most enjoyable playability since ...well, rock-paper-scissors. But there is one faction who hates the Wii: chair, sofas, and couches. It's true - with everyone jumping up and down and moving around, our butt-comforting furniture is lonely. And, to tell the truth, we're exhausted. Gamers are supposed to be one with their couch, not prancing around in front of their television! Lucky for all of us, the WiiHelm is here. Snap your Wiimote into the WiiHelm and put the WiiHelm on your head. Now, all you have to do is move your head around. Why jump to the left when a simple flick of your neck will do? All Wiimote buttons are controlled by the included foot pedals, so your hands are finally free to hold your drink, shove another donut hole in your mouth, or scratch yourself. Remember: gaming should be fun, not exercise. And now thanks to the WiiHelm, it is again. Check out the video to see it in action!

ThinkGeek's description has some merit, but how about this angle? My changes are in italic.

But there is one faction who hates the Wii: people who live in shoeboxes. It's true - with everyone jumping up and down and moving around, our elbows are sore from hitting the walls. And, to tell the truth, we're black and blue. Gamers are supposed to be one with their couch, not prancing around in front of their television! Lucky for all of us, the WiiHelm is here. Snap your Wiimote into the WiiHelm and put the WiiHelm on your head. Now, all you have to do is move your head around. Why bruise your left elbow when a simple flick of your neck will do? All Wiimote buttons are controlled by the included foot pedals, so your hands are finally bruise free. Remember: gaming should be fun, not painful.
