Wii Fit TAKES OVER THE WORLD (or maybe just Central Park) photo

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.

[Via Kotaku -- Thanks, Jonathan!]

That's pretty cool of Nintendo. The donation part, that is.

I'll be seeing that picture in my nightmares tonight, so thanks in advance. Are you sure that's not a man?

That pic reminds me of Jim carrey's "Xena: Warrior Princess" spoof.

Wow, that is awesome about the donations. I'd actually go if I lived closer. I wasn't overly excited about this game at first, but after I watched that interview of Shigeru on the nintendo channle I got really pumped about it. I just had this feeling (as I noticed my own excitement growing and also saw the excitement in my girlfriends eyes) like: HOLY COW THIS THING IS GONNA SELL!

That drag queen is DIESEL, yo.

I don't know about anyone else but I personally don't get involved with women whose upper arms are bigger than my thighs.

Nintendo will make anything and you will buy it. There is no use in trying to refuse the inevitable. Nin already has Ninjaed our brains and you will obey its command on getting Wii fit for your own good even dough nothing good of it will come.

I'm really glad I don't see this picture everyone is talking about. Also, I'm glad Nintendo is doing the donations, that sure is swell of them.

And the AHA will use $4.99 of each $5 to pay for the admin cost of running their place. Charities suck.

She just gave me a chubby. However, WiiFit in the public eye at Central Park makes me flaccid.

I saw 'Monica' on TV one time, 'she' competes as a female bodybuilder, and while being more buff than most of the other competitors never seems to win. I think its probably her adam's apple that gives her away, but if that isn't a post op transexual, my observation skills are horrible.

Scarily, 'she' is in a relationship with her coach, who just loves muscles. Scary.
