Wii Remote Kills Dog

Ozzy, the dog that was killed by a Wii remote
They try to tell you the Wii is good for you, gets you involved, moving around, and perhaps lose a few pounds. Little did the White family know the Wii would kill their family dog.
The White family from Marquette Michigan just opened up their Wii for Christmas and set it up. Bowling sounds like fun for everyone right? Not the dog! The five month old miniature Sheltie jumped infront of the controller right as Kathie was swinging to bowl.
Striking the dog in the temple, it died instantly. After giving the dog a few breaths of CPR, the dog came back to life. Thankfully the Nintendo corporation will not have a lawsuit on their hands, but perhaps this is a lesson Nintendo…. Put warnings on your Wii!

wow… i agree with the guy who said “You have to be the most retarded person i have ever met
If you hate something at least come up with viable evidence it sucks. Not bullshit like this” i mean wow.. you really must be stupid the person who hit their dog is just careless and you my friend, you are an idiot
Maybe the dog shouldn’t have jumped in the way. I heard about a dog who died because he saw the RROD lol. Wii is good and you don’t own one probably so go back and play your wonderful Shitbox or PS3. Leave the Wii alone. Maybe the dog jumped in the way because it was the Wii and he wanted to see a good reliable console which revolutionises gaming!
i HAVE the Wii and Xbox360
quite honestley, after a month of having my xbox unplugged so the wii could go in to the TV made me go insane, crappy and lagging constantly for ANY shooter games.
Microsoft SCREWED THIER COOLING SINK and STILL manage to best the Wii in lagging issues.
if you wan’t a wii, buy one… if you are prepared to face either innaccurate controllers, baby games, over 1000+ possible common error messages and the only good games for the wii to lag constantly just beacause 2 enemies are on screen and you’re shooting slowly getting hits.
after playing several games for the xbox360 and my good old gamer’s PC i was back to normal, it took me 3 hours of game time to be brave enough to get a non bolt-action gun out again.
if you’re gonna call me a dumb fag for MY oppinion say it to my face you cowards.
i have had personal experience with EVERYTHING i typed, no bullshiting or anything, and i KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT CONSOLES ECT. I SET MY OWN OS UP FOR THE PC, INSTALLED MY GRAPHICS CARD, ADDED COOLERS. SO DON’T CALL ME DUMB BECAUSE I KNOW HALF OF YOU Wii ADDICTS (no offence to those who do know something) CAN’T EVEN SET YOUR TV TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL FOR YOUR Wii WITHOUT READING THE MANUAL OR ASKING SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT!

BRING IT YOU FLAMER Wii ADDICTS
or just have a nice chat if you’re sane…
The Wii is killing dogs, people, and giving injuries! And people still pay for Nintendo’s crappy gimmicks when they haven’t made a good console since the N64.
Take a look at some:
-Gamecube: It’s a freaking box! get over it!
-DS:Clamshell portable with crappy graphics, weak hinges, and other easily breakable parts. I don’t care that it has two screens and one is a touch screen! It still sucked in my opinion.
-GameBoy Micro:Wow! It’s powerfull enough not to take away from my already crappy gaming experience, but small and cute enough to still scream to eveerybody: “Hey world!!! Look at me!!! I’m gay!!!”
-Wii: Whoop-de-doo!!! I can move my controller and hope the system’s response isn’t crap, which it is 90% of the time. I can get all of this and more from playing american sports like baseball, football, or basketball.
So yeah, there are a few of my problems with Nintendo, besides baby games and bad graphics. i still think real, hardcore gamers will get PS3 and XBox 360 because they have real fun games like Call of Duty 4 and Halo games(still wish PS3 had some of those. I do have an old XBox and Halo 2 though
) that have great online play.
So, that is my viewpoint. Peace out!
It’s one thing to say that you don’t like the Wii because you don’t like the graphics and/or gameplay. But its another to blame personal injuries on the console.
Just because you like the PS3 and/or Xbox 360 better than the Wii doesn’t give you the right to claim that Wii is the sole cause of all injuries. In fact, the way I see it, a little exercise (and the prospect of actually standing up while gaming), might prevent that fat ass of yours (which got so fat from playing Halo/COD/WOW 18 hours a day) from suffering a heart attack or stroke, or any of the many obesity related diseases.
But this is just plain stupid. Whether you hate the wii or not, are you really fucking blamin nintendo for hurting the dog? If you get into a car accident because of recklessness on the part of either driver, are you going to sue Honda or Toyota. No. If you did, you’d be the biggest tool there is. If you got fat off of eating McDonald’s, are you going to sue them for making you fat (Perhaps, but you sure as hell aren’t going to win).
Seriously, the injury was caused by the recklessness of the user. I’ve played Wii bowling, and other wii games, and none of them require you to swing the wiimote extremely fast and flail it around. Swinging it absurdly fast won’t improve your gameplay, and just unessecarily endangers people around it.
Simply put, its impossible to make something idiot-proof and accident-proof. However many safety measures and warning labels you put on a product, someone will find a way to get hurt, and physical motion often increases the likelihood of that. However, does that mean we should stop playing sports, or do any sort of physical activity, because it comes with the risk of injury. Would you really rather spend all your time lazing away playing motionless video games, wasting the latter half of your life going in and out of hospitals, getting liposuctions, recovering from heart attacks and diabetes. Or would you rather stay physically fit, and avoid most of that.
Ummm… Wii and Nintendo is similar to Disney, smart marketing crapshite product… feed on n00bs… and casual crowd… just dont try to argue that its actually a gaming system, cuz its not, its like a fancy gaming ipod, its pretty and fancy usless crap… i got a wii, it collects dust… i used to play cube games on it after the wii sports thing got boring(which didnt take long) i tried some of their re hashed zelda mario titles (which got boring) because i have played them before… just gotta change it slightly for the fanboys to eat it up… nintendo has a mormon like following… eyes glazed over god is guud… the rest of us dont have the luxury of zealotry, we feel like we have rights to good progressive product design and a growing more dynamic 3rd party talent pool to produce our entertainment… did you grow out of disney? if not you prolly wont get bored of wii… eventually you get interested in things that arent boring little re hashed twat fests…
to people who bash him for him not “proving” anything: it’s an opinion, and it can never be proved. just like saying the wii is the best is a statement that cannot be proved. and i used to have a wii, now i have a 360, i have never regretted that decision, because it has great games and i have never had any problems with it. besides, i also think a lot of these articles are stupid. nobody can ever prove an opinion, and that is that.
ps: if you respond with “well the wii sells the most so its the best!” then don’t even bother. all that says is the wii sells the best, not that it’s better.
and yes manan, i half agree with you. these injuries are not the wii’s fault but the fault of the idiots causing them. and i personally do not like the idea of excercising while playing game. if i want that, i can grab my ipod and go out for a jog. and i dont think the wii sucks, it’s all about tastes. the main thing that drove me away from the wii is the low replay value of their games. i mean i have friends, but they barely had the chance to come to my house. and the reason i PREFER the 360 is online play, nothing else. i like the idea of voice chat, so you can communicate with your teammates in a game to work with them better. but i think the wii was meant to be aimed towards kids. no i do not think it’s a “kiddy” console, but that it is mainly marketed towards children. mostly due to the whole friend codes thing. and i think it’s stupid to say the wii isn’t “hardcore” because it doesn’t have all that blood and gore.
ive owned every system that was ever out starting with the nintendo dreamcast and i have to say 360 or ps3 is the way to go 360 if u want more games though.. but anyway the person couldve given the dog a pressure point with that small white piece of crap on accident thats why you need a real game like 360 or ps3 then your dog can sit on your lap or right by your feet instead of being scared of getting killed by the worse system on the market 0_o plus 360 and ps3 have better games even though more expensive
Hey kameelah, it doesn’t matter, you have to throw it around to play the Wii. Maybe the dog wanted to stop the bitch ass parents from playing the wii wii. It won’t matter, it striked the dog with thr wiimote in their hands. The dog jumped in to make them stop playing the wii wii.
Go eat a dick, kiddy. Go play mario and let us play REAL games.
okay i’m gonna say this right now cuz it’s getting how my nerves… HOW IN THE HELL CAN YOU BLAME THE WII FOR THE USER STRIKING THE DOG IN THE HEAD??? first of all, the dog got in the way of the person trying to bowl! second of all, the PERSON should’ve been paying attention to their dog! and third of all, the PERSON HIT THE DOG IN THE HEAD! okay now i’m gonna say that last one real slow so you idiots can understand. THE…………PERSON………….HIT…………… THE ……………DOG………… WITH ……………..THE …………….REMOTE ……… THE…………. REMOTE…………… DID …………. NOT…………. HIT ……………THE …………..DOG ………….BY ………..ITSELF! AIRGO …………………THE …………. PERSON ………… IS ………………… THE …………. ONE ……………. AT ………….. FAULT …………………… NOT …………….. THE ………………… WII!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm people seem to dislike the wii because it has “baby games” *AKA games everyone can enjoy* While some games that are made are targeted towards toddlers *not babies, they cannot play the wii anyway ~_~* Most wii games you all clasify as “baby” games are actually just games lacking violence, drugs, and sexuality. Teens like those kind of games because they feel that because they feel it’s something they can relate to (immorality). Games geared towards babies would be exceedingly simple, and their purpose would be to teach the child playing. That isn’t the case with games like, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, or Mario Kart Wii. A game with violence *not too bad, Halo’s pretty darn awesome* Sexuality *boners from gameplay ain’t necessary* and drugs *ever since “gangsters” and celebrities started using drugs they’ve been classified as “cool” ISN’T the perfect game, gameplay is what really matters, it’s always what’s mattered most, and it’s always what will matter most, which is why games like Super Smash Bro’s and Halo are so popular.
The Wii… does have warnings on it. Nintendo knows. But you say the dog died, then you say it was brought back to life with CPR. Are you joking about it dieing, or are you using the word dieing as a replacement for the term “passing out”?
Anyways, I’m disappointed with the lack of many good Wii games (basically lack of third part support), and I’m going to buy a PS3 Slim in a few days, if I can [hopefully] get my hands on one.
Manan, you are a dumbass hypocrite. On another topic,
you said blaming Nintendo for your injuries was like
blaming McDonald’s for making you fat. And on this topic,
you said someone would sue McDonald’s for making them fat,and that means they DID make them fat. What the hell
is wrong with you? Watch what you say. (And this goes for
everyone.)
k , i got a wii about 2 years ago, i bought around 4 games for it, it was call of duty (the new one) and WaW, and i must say, even though the graphics (and for some reason the xbox and ps3 fanatics think that its all about graphics) were not up to par, the controls made it all MORE fun. If there is a game that is on all consoles, obviously the graphics go to xbox/ps3. But the gameplay and controls go to the wii. My friend has gone through three xbox 360’s (2 jupiter sets as well) because of RRoD, but the warrenty helped him until he was sick and tired of it, so he got a ps3. I bought the wii because of its fun and controls (its not just 5 year old games people). Its a family console,you will probably be playing wii sports, wii play, mario kart, brawl with your family but your not going to play halo or Call of duty with your parents are you?
(dont respond saying XBOX/PS3 ROCKS NOOB).
I know this story is a joke but i ended up here because i also have purchased the Wii. I have a 4 yr old son and thought he would enjoy mario cart because of the “steering wheel” etc etc… I finally thought i would get myself a game (call of duty modern warfare). I had he game on for 10 minutes. 9 of which to see if there was any way to disable the fucking pointer. Wii SUCKS COCK. For the idiot who claimed “Guys in the military dont get tired of pointing” misses the whole point. You dont run with a controll stick either jackass. The point is i have never been more disappointed in FPS games until i met the wii. It was sooooo awkward to controll it took the fun out of gaming. If you have small children i guess you can waste the money for a bit of kiddie fun but the wii truly is shit. Worst money i have ever spent. (And i spent 100 on a whore that gave me the clap). Fuck the wii.
Damn, this guy hit everything I hate about wii spot on! 240$ worth of a paperweight is a little expensivel! They shouldve bundled it with a shotgun so I could blow my brains out for making the biggest mistake of my entire life! What a fucking joke of a system, half the channels are revolved around retarded “miis” and voting BS! And then theres theres the 50$+ TERRIBLE games that feature Dora! A disk drive that doesnt play discs? UNACCEPTABLE. NINTENDO SHOULD BE SEVERELY PUNISHED. If only I can broadcast this worldwide so I can prevent this global infection from spreading any further! NINTENDO GO TO HELL

IM GONNA PUT A WII SMASHING VIDEO ON YOUTUBE (WII IS A GAY BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
