As we all know, Nintendo is trying to turn men into transvestites. Paradoxically, they are doing this by trying to get Moms and the elderly interested in the Wii.

So far, a lot of the Wii Ambassador program has primarily rewarded sycophantic Nintendo forum fan boys with rather lame parties, often attended by no one. But no longer. Nintendo approached Tracy C. of the MomBlog, a classy bird who had no real interest in the Wii. But a Wii party, a hundred beers and a bunch of tacos later, they had won her over:

So,we had the party yesterday and if you can imagine, there were 4 amazing TV's set up, with 4 Wii Gaming Systems (under lock and key, I might add)throughout our house. It was pretty impressive, I must say. And I'm one mom who is not easily impressed with these kinds of things. But everyone was really getting into the fun, flailing arms and legs and everything. Let's just say that most of the Wii system games that we played do not accommodate couch potatoes!

The fact that this isn't written by some desperate, mouth-breathing nerd really makes it the most readable Wii Ambassador testimonial of the bunch. Over all, Tracy liked it, although by reading her full disclosure of perks, it's hard to imagine how Nintendo could have bribed her more. Then again, I spent all of GC06 sipping martinis in the Microsoft tent and letting Major Nelson give me foot massages. So I'm really not one to talk. Florian Eckhardt
