The luckiest dudes on Earth, and the funniest

You could get it too. And yes, for as little as a buck...if you're lucky. Grab a camera though

This, you gotta see. A bunch of dudes out for a stroll in a lousy mall stopped to play at Stacker game (found everywhere across the country in malls or theater lobbies). They placed in a buck to try and win a Wii. You know what? They did. How awesome is that? The dudes filmed themselves, (of course, otherwise the title wouldn't say video...jeez!) and you could see the tension building up as the Wii hangs and moves around just waiting to drop. Most times, machines of this kind trick you into thinking that the prize will eventually drop, not having a very steady position. But it doesn't really. And you have to place in another buck. Another try, another buck and so on. By the time the machine gives away the prize, it'll have long made up the retail price for it. That's how it generally goes.

Guess the dudes in the video were the 250th to try and get it huh? Who cares? They didn't, and it's shown right there in the video. If you decide to watch, click HERE to see it, but be advised that if this were a video game, it should be rated '"M" for Mature. The language is pretty hard although the guys have no bad intentions whatsoever (they're not swearing at anyone except themselves, and in a friendly manner at that). They're just happy that they've won, and so would I if I were them.

But wasn't Nintendo actually holding back Wii supplies? Don't give Gamestop Wiis but place three or four in Stackers... really now. Still, I guess this makes another Nintendo customer, one that will tell his story to others who will tell it to their friends and so on. Honestly, can Nintendo fail...ever? Maybe Sony should do the same with the PS3. Sure... just one or two would probably fit and by the time the winner grabs it, it's broken, 'cause it's heavy and it can't take the blow. Maybe even mug the machine while they're at it, to make it swallow at least a grand before the console falls, so they can finally say they've covered manufacturing costs, right? Just kidding...! Watch the video if you like, but only if you're old enough. Hey...what would their mothers say hearing them talk such trash? Let's hope the dudes' moms don't know about YouTube then huh?
