The Wii has often been blamed for broken TV sets, but now it can be blamed for broken faces. A couple were arrested on Christmas Day, quite noticeably bruised, after they got into a physical fight over a Wii game. Fun for all the family!
24-year-old Heath Blom upset his girlfriend, 24-year-old Randi Young, by disparaging the good name of a Wii game he got for Christmas. It is alleged he was throwing a childish tantrum over not receiving a $1000 RC airplane instead. Blom denies wanting the plane before his birthday in April, claiming that "You can't fly an RC plane in the snow."
However, Blom does admit to insulting the Wii game he was given by his grandparents instead, upsetting his grandmother and angering his girlfriend. After labeling her boyfriend an ingrate, Randi then called him further names "for not liking the Wii." I know how Blom feels there, at least.
"He said he hated it, he hurt [his grandmother's] feelings," explained Young. "When he didn’t get the plane, he got really upset. He acted like a 10-year-old kid."
As the fight progressed, Young started packing her bags to leave. Heath allegedly got really mad at this, not because she was going, but because he thought she was taking the Wii game with her ... even though he said he hated it. "He dragged me down two flights of stairs, by the hair," she stated. Blom instead argues that he tried to block her exit, and she punched him in the eye three times before he simply pulled her hair. Young's father said she has a swollen nose. Police were eventually called, and both sides of the argument were arrested when their bruises were spotted.
Best. Christmas. Ever.

LOL! What's even worse about this is that un-named Wii game he wasn't pleased with receiving could be one of hundreds of crappy games for the Wii.
I can understand being unhappy with the Wii, but that guy's just a douche.
Colombian cocaine?
Ungrateful little shit needs a smack in the mouth imo.
Also my story is fake.
Also my story is fake.
Do you feel better now that you got your anti-Wii sentiments out of the way? So, did you then sell it to someone who can appreciate it, or is it now just sitting on a closet floor not being any good to anyone?
@John B: Shut the hell up. How is a domestic dispute news story "anti-Wii troll bait"? Sounds to me like you're a Wii fanboy who can't bear that some people don't love "your" console. HEAVEN FORBID.
also, lickable tummy
thats creepy
Actually, I own all three - PS3, XB360, and Wii - all of which get regular use. Just bought the 360 last night, in fact. Shows what you know.
Nothing against Jim or the article itself. I think the bastard in the article needs to be hung from a crane with Ethernet cables or a bunch of cables made from PS2 controllers.
And with the protection rubber glove inserted, for additional pain. And to send the right message about safe sex :-).
Really, the guy is a spoiled retarded brat.
Aurikill: sometimes what the fuck says it all...this would be one of those.
I'm so sorry, I was raised by truckers and wolves. And some werewolves truckers too.

...Oh, and bitch slapped repeatedly.

You win massive cool points for mentioning C64/IBM.
