Caught on video: your mom is a Wiitard
Niero01.03.08 - 3:30 PM 32 comments

 
At this stage, there is pretty much no excuse we can think of that this should have happened, but it's still rather funny that it did. A girl filming her parents was beaned in the face with her mom's (strapless!) Wiimote and let out a whimper on her way down while her sister laughed in the background. Awesome. It just goes to show, Nex was right. Time and time again, the people most affected by the Wiitard phenomenon are fat greasy Americans.

Who's more Wiitarded? The person that throws the Wiimote, or the person that gets hit by it for stupidly standing in front of the players during a heated Wii Tennis rally?

Uh. Yeah i wouldn't want to step in the way of the "LOL Amerikkka" Bullshit. But they aren't very fat. Sure the guy has a huge beer belly and the woman isn't fit. But Not fat. Way to make something that is very funny seem like a total asshole-fest.

No shit, I actually got my grandpa to play it. He is very skeptical of video games still, but I could tell he was having some fun.

Snaileb: What did this article have to do with ShadowXoR? I vote we ban YOU for requesting bans! :P

Also. Hahah!

And to maximum0v3rdriv3: They is fat, son. F.A.T! No denying it. Saying they're greasy may be a bit slanderous though! Mmm. I'm off to have some KFC :D

Have to agree these are a couple of fatty-fat-fats. Just because the fatties on Springer are 600lb, that don't make those folks un-fat. (I would have said skinny rather than un-fat, but we all know there's no way they can pull off skinny, no matter what criteria you use.)

antivert don't be a cock whore. My post didn't tell them to ban him, and my post said I didn't mind ShadowXoR, but he just talks so much shit to the editors that I was curious. Go pick your fights with some flaming fanboy douchebag , and not the Snail.

(look, I didn't even bitch you out. Aren't I polite? No I didn't call you a cock whore, just don't be one. You will make your mom cry.)

What about fat greasy Canadians? My homeland is at least twice as fat and greasy as the US. We're like everything wrong with that country except indignant about it and jealous of them.
