I imagine most of you would have seen this already, but for those that haven't, a couple of dips**ts couldn't figure out how to use the new Nintendo controller and thought throwing it at the TV would work.

Nope. Wrist strap snaps. The Wiimote flies across the room impaling my 60" rear projection TV square in the upper left corner.

Be warned: Sweaty hands + faulty Wiimote wrist strap = broken ass TV.

I don't know much of the details about rear projection TVs. That might just be the outer glass. You can see a small white smudge from where part of the Wiimote hit the screen.

I saw that on the something awful forum. I think it's happened more than once though. I guess the Wii shouldn't be played in small rooms, or with sweaty hands.
