Wii Fit Sarcastic Commercial - A Little White Thing You Stand On!

Honestly, what's the difference between doing regular push-ups and this?

Thanks to a well known gaming site, I stumbled upon something I never thought I would see: a sarcastic commercial addressed to the Wii. It speaks of the new Wii Fit, which is said to help you stay fit without even leaving the comfort of your home and on top of that all, that it's fun and simple. I don't know about the fun though... It doesn't look like such a terrific activity really.

Who else could be behind
all this sarcasm if not SarcasticGamer.com? Ever since the Wii's release, the world has been literally thrown into this Wii frenzy, basically dominated by Wii Sports and mostly by Wii Tennis. I have to agree (and so does anyone who has a few negative things to say about the Wii), that Wii Tennis is indeed the perfect game for the machine. Above all, it's practically the perfect game for everyone who likes having their friends over, or who wants to relax after a hard day at work and so on.

However, not everything brought to the Wii works just as well as Wii Tennis. Not that Wii Fit was ported from anyone/anywhere. It's Nintendo's idea, and a pretty naïve one at that. Honestly now, people are trying to lose weight ever since the invention of the hamburger. Sure, something a little different than going to the gym will get them moving around a little, but in one week, they'll realize it's no different and no less energy-consuming than weightlifting.

Check out that guy doing push-ups. He looks very happy because he's doing push-ups on a white plastic thingy on the floor, instead of just on the floor... without the plastic thing under his hands. What's that Nintendo? Does it show how much pressure you're applying? You're right, that's so helpful...! Give me a break. What can I say, it's the work of a genius.
