    I am shocked it wasn't the Japanese that came up with this instead, srsly, I'd rather go out to a bowling alley! It's all about watching that heavy ball spin down the lane, this is a stupid periperal.

    This can't be real.

    If, somehow, this IS real, this seems even more useless than the plastic tennis racket things that go on Wii-motes. At least that makes SOME sense. You swing a racket, but you still hang on to it. But, with a real bowling ball, you don't go through the throwing motion and continue to hold the damn thing.

    Really dumb.

    I'm just waiting for those plastic clamps to get really loose, then you'll effectively have a WiiMote slingshot for more LCD throwing precision!

    Oh, and nice chroma key job too!

    the funniest part of the video is when he says something about bowling strikes like the pros, then proceeds to only hit 9 pins with his throw.

    Yeah, I thought the whole point of Wii Bowling (which I like a lot) is that you don't have to use the giant ball (that's what she said), just the little remote. All the fun without the hassle and the stanky shoes.

    This is just getting silly...
    What am I saying!? It's been silly for a long time now.

    At any rate they were smart enough to have the two halves secured with the strap but I can still see those two halves flying apart and that seemingly loosely secured remote fly out of the shell into the TV.

    I kid though. Accidents with this thing are going to be limited to the odd idiot who doesn't realise that subtle wrist movements are just as good as full arm flails.

    Employee: Thank you for calling GameStop, how may I help you?

    Clever, clever guy: Do you have 1.1 lbs balls?

    Employee: Why, yes, we do. You can find them right next to our Wiis.

    O'Reilley: Welcome back to the O'Reilley Factor. Tonight we leave you with yet another disturbing clip from the same video game industry that prances around naked girls, promotes violence, and convinces our innocent children to have unprotected gay sex.

    --- Cuts to video of Wii Bowling Ball while O'Reilley narrates ---

    O'Reilley: What we have here is another case of the video game industry giving us all blue balls. Have they no shame?

    Clearly it is plastic devices like this that lead to violence amongst our young people. They package these blue balls and then market them to kids who don't understand the danger or the responsibility of having blue balls!

    Please stand with me America, and do your part to boycott and complain about these plastic peripherals of spherical death. No grandmother should have to wake up from her afternoon nap to find her living room, and her way of life, destroyed by these monstrosities.

    Good night.
