Former Kotaku writer Lore Sjöberg, current Wired Digital writer, has a look at the Nintendo Wii, stating:

Well, I finally managed to buy a Nintendo Wii (or, as I prefer to call it, the Murder Appliance).

Sorry, I know that's not very catchy. It's hard to come up with a properly macabre pun on 'Wii.' 'The Grim Wii-per' maybe? No, let's stick with Murder Appliance.

It takes only a few minutes with this gruesome plastic box of death to realize exactly how insidious it is. Every aspect of it is designed with one thing in mind: transforming innocent, wide-eyed, polite young people into slavering psychopaths.

Insane fanboys, relax. Lore's only kidding. He comments on the Wii-mote ("Is there any remaining doubt that it was designed expressly as a weapon?"), the controller attachment ("It's called a nunchuk, the weapon of choice for antisocial youth with a collection of Bruce Lee movies and an inflated sense of their own dexterity. Enough said.") and Wii Sports ("...clearly designed to train people for the task of reducing other human beings to pink pulp.") Clever stuff. Brian Ashcraft
