According to one loudmouth with a radio show, the Wii needs to pull its products from store shelves until they make significant changes to their advertising. Instead of promoting family fun and active lifestyles, the Wii actually contributes to obesity and injures people, claims a new lawsuit.

Michael Torchia has decided to press a suit against Nintendo for the injuries that stupid people sustain by not knowing how to waggle an electric plastic stick properly. By pure coincidence, Torchia also hosts a fitness radio show called Shape Up America, and runs specialized programs for obese children. Not that I'd ever imply that he feels threatened by the success of Wii Fit or anything. 

"Nintendo is contributing to the epidemic of obesity," claims the jealous concerned Torchia. "Young and old are putting away their gym clothes and shying away from going outdoors to play sports, because the addictive appeal to the Wii game products. Just as the tobacco companies created such a false image of their products and hid the potential dangers, so is Nintendo."

The irony of course is that a lawsuit blaming Nintendo for your being a fat moron who broke his arm pretending to play tennis is just as bad for lazy Americans who don't want to take responsibility for their lives. Of course, Torchia won't admit that he's as bad as Wii Fit if not worse. Both of them prey on the lazy, Torchia's just sad because Nintendo is getting all the fresh meat.
