Video Game Bloggers Pwnd By CNN Reporter

The breaking Wii remote strap issue has made it all the way to CNN. If you tuned in on this particular day to find out about the war or any other pertinent news story, you had to wait until this amazing piece of tripe was finished.

The reporter does another typical "in depth" mainstream media story on the game industry and offers other people's differing opinions on whether or not you should only use tiny motions to control your Wii or get your ass of the couch and wave your arms wildly like a total spaz. Chiropractor, Karen Ericson, says get your lazy bones up and use the full range of motion, while Bloggers Chris Grant and James Wiley (from that other game blog) warn against the dangers of overzealous playing. Grant and Wiley then go on to get their asses kicked by the intrepid reporter in a round of Wii boxing. Said reporter seems very pleased with himself after the punch fest is over and his opponents lie bleeding and motionless on the floor.

Watching this leaves me with one burning question. Doesn't CNN have an editor in their company? (hmm, why does that phrase sound familiar?) "The hard pite might be keeping a grip on it" ? "Full rain of motion"? This is CNN, people, not some sort of blog where no one pays attention to the massive amounts spelling mistakes...
