How not to play Wii, courtesy of the Home Shopping Network - Mike Smith

I thought this was funny enough to share:

Remember that spate of flying-remote, broken-TV mishaps that accompanied the launch of the Wii back in '06? A recent sales pitch on TV's Home Shopping Network ended in disaster when the host accidentally demonstrates why cheap plastic controller attachments can be a liability.

Check out the smooth way the huckster segues into a quick lesson on Wii remote safety -- "Make sure your accessories are definitely latched on all the way" -- and stands in front of the smashed TV for the remainder of the clip. Calm in the face of TV tragedy, he's a regular Sully.

Joking aside, the real tragedy here is that they're trying to sell a $199 Wii, plus 15 worthless controller attachments, for $330. That's worth breaking your TV over.

Ha! sucker... Yea those things are completely worthless....

Yup, I saw this yesterday morning.  I thought it was pretty hilarious how he went over the safety afterwards, and attempted to stand in front of the damaged portion of the tv.

Haha, yeah.Plus how he's like, oh the attachment wasn't in all the way! Yeah, right, you want us to pay $130 premium for attachments that cost maybe $15?

After the accident, the TV wasn't shown for a minute or so, and then voila, it was like it never happened. Also like how he doesn't play tennis afterward.

A tool demonstrating attachments... how fitting.

LOL, good one!

The only infomercial guy I didn't find annoying was Mike Rowe (he does the Dirty Jobs Show now).
