Japanese Wii manual = hilarity photo

It's been a long-standing tradition that the warning illustrations and information found inside the manuals of Japanese electronics has to be funny. I believe it's actually Japanese law. 

Nintendo has not let us down, as these scans from the Japanese Wii users manual so hilariously illustrate. Check them out and no matter what you do, don't stick a four leaf clover into the back of your Wii. That's almost as stupid and dangerous as chewing on the sensor bar's cord!

You can't get your Wii drunk and then sex it up under the sheets? For shame Nintendo, for shame.

So the Wii doesn't like Orange soda....that is LAME! who doesn't like ORANGE SODA?! It is so great.

But I suppose you can poor grape soda on it...

I'm confused. Is eating cables (specifically the sensor bar cable I guess) a problem in Japan?

But I totally hold the remote+nunchuck like that. Makes it easy to drop the controllers and walk around when you need to. Of course, true gamers have already grafted the remote to their arms...

This shit is great
I am glad they told me not to pour out a 40oz for the homies onto my Wii. Good advice.

Uncombed hair is forbidden when playing the Wii. Your punishment will be sucking the cord of the sensor bar clean!

Actually, the one with the sensor bar is warning you not to let your child eat the tie that's on the sensor bar. So I'm gonna assume eating the sensor bar cord is totally cool. Tastes like candy!

If you feel compelled to pour soda on your Wii, do NOT do it in the blue room!!!

Do not pour Urine into your Wee, it may sound pretty logical but is not, seriously.

The nunchuk is not designed to be literally used as a nunchuck, you retard.

Wii!

-only $249.99-

* Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Wii.
* Caution: Wii may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds.
* Wii contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at.
* Do not use Wii on concrete.

Discontinue use of Wii if any of the following occurs:

* Itching
* Vertigo
* Dizziness
* Tingling in extremities
* Loss of balance or coordination
* Slurred speech
* Temporary blindness
* Profuse sweating
* Heart palpitations

If Wii begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head.

Wii may stick to certain types of skin.

When not in use, Wii should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...

Failure to do so relieves the makers of Wii, Nintendo of America, and its parent company Nintendo of Japan, of any and all liability.

Ingredients of Wii include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space.

Wii has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq.

Do not taunt Wii.

Wii comes with a lifetime guarantee.

I think Nintendo has made their target audience pretty clear.

So does this mean it's okay to use it as a weapon in hand-to-hand combat? I don't see anything explicitly telling me not to.
