Are you too lazy to make your own Mii? Does the idea of using sliders and menus to create something on a screen seem like neuroscience to you? Well, fret no more! MiiStation.com solves all those problems for you. For the simple cost of $5 and a photo of yourself, MiiStation will create a Mii that looks just like you! Just as their site describes:
Drawing a Mii you can be proud of is tough. Which hair style? What nose? Besides, each feature isn't fixed - you can stretch, you can squeeze, you can do as you please! With so many options from which to choose, stop wasting time and let our graphic artists make a Mii your friends will actually recognize.
I completely agree! I have to spend two hours working on a Mii that doesn't look like a horrible love child of Nex and Naomi.
Now Internet, I turn to you for help. I know I'm not crazy, and I feel that I have some level of common sense. Can you please tell me why something like this exists? I would think that anyone who is capable of actually using a computer and getting to MiiStation.com would be able to make their own Mii. Also, isn't the cost a bit expensive? Not according to their FAQ:
$5.00?! That's expensive! Actually, it doesn't even cover the costs. We love the Mii concept, and just want to give any frustrated Wii owners a chance to be happy for their Miis. Miis have their own life too, after all. And if you must know, our artists are not sweatshop slaves but native Japanese - right in Nintendo's homeland!

Alright. Enough of this.
This is about as bad as Circuit City charging 30 dollars to install Xbox Live on 360s.
Fat and stupid people will buy stupid crap like this just so they can have an extra couple minutes to continue being fat and stupid. That's all I can really think to explain this.
Fuck, I'll do it for free. Anyone need a Mii made?
"Actually, it doesn't even cover the costs."
...what?
These people need to be killed
I would love to get ahold of the list of people that actually pay for that "service". They could use a good slappin'.
That's the dumbest shit I've heard all day.
Wonder how many people with way too much money have actually shelled out for this 'service'.
I died laughing when I read that part of the FAQ on the site.
I usually punch these kinds of people when I see them. They're the same people at Six Flags who charge you 15 bucks to draw you in a dune buggy with girls chasing you.
"Lazy? Tired? Just plain stupid? Well, have no fear, our patented "Useless Product/Service That Caters To People With Limited Common Sense and/or Reasoning Capabilities" will help you achieve an undeserved and utterly shallow sense of self and accomplishment. Yes, for only 19.99 you can have your own "Useless Product/Service That Caters To People With Limited Common Sense and/or Reasoning Capabilities". Call now!
.......Also, cokcs.
Wow. I guess if you really don't want to make your own Mii this is the service for you. Creating your own Mii has got to be one of the more fun things to do on the Wii. Paying someone else to do it is.... (see above ^).
Its a crime to let suckers keep their money
The Mii fee doesn't cover the costs because nobody's paying $5 to have a Mii made for them. Part of the Mii experience is playing around with the interface, which I can do for free on my Wii. 8-|
wiitarded
Nex is going to be a father? what's the name nex - Damien?
EXTORTION!
But the artists who will create your Mii are native Japanese!
People who are likely to pay for this: Stupid Japanabe emo kids. Which means it will be a huge success, because there are millions of them. Weep for humanity.
Is there refunds?
Fucking Christ, I would have stayed at work had i known i would come home, and find this. I swear nonsense like this gets my blood boiling
Can we please please put together a mob and kill whoever's responsible?
I mean seriously,if anybody deserves a very tedious and severe ass whoppin' it's whoever created this travesty of a service.
Exactly what costs are involved with dicking around with the Mii creator for 5 minutes?
I bet they're wondering why the hell they're getting so much traffic today.
I have a rock that keeps bears away! I know what you're thinking; "gee, how did a fella get to be so lucky as to get a rock that keeps bears away?" But fret no longer - now you too can be this lucky!
For the piddling and insignificant price of $89.95, you can buy freedom of mind from bear attacks. Did you know that in 1964 over two people were injured in bear related incidents? Don't let this happen to you. Act now, and we'll throw in a home-inflatable baloon too, y'know for kids!
Don't miss this once in a lifetime offer!
So five bucks doesn't even cover the cost. The cost of what? The cost of being professional douchebags? I heard that can be costly. Not sure why though.
Either way you slice it, it's tough to see where the money is going here. Or care, really.
I can't make a Mii that looks like me, but I'm certainly not paying somebody five bucks to do it.
thats like paying someone to take a shit for u.
ur paying for somthing u can do urself with almost no problem.
