In Nintendo's most recent attempt to attain world domination via Wii Fit, they will join forces with celebrity trainer Ashley Borden to hold an event in Central Park in New York this May 19th. Nintendo will have a truckload of balance boards at the ready for live demonstrations at this launch event, but here is the cool part: for every person that goes through the demo, Nintendo will make a $5 donation (up to $25k) to the American Heart Association. And here we are, complaining about Nintendo only wants to make money! I feel guilty.
At any rate, if you live in the area, you can catch the event from 8 am to 5 pm at Merchant's Gate in Central Park. The event happens to fall within National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, which is a good thing unless you overdo it, like our friend Monica above, who probably looked like a woman once.

looks like a dude in a chicks dress to me though =\
I'll be seeing that picture in my nightmares tonight, so thanks in advance. Are you sure that's not a man?
I don't know about anyone else but I personally don't get involved with women whose upper arms are bigger than my thighs.
Great motto!
Cool move on Nintendo's part.
