Well, we've all seen the news articles and videos with people allegedly putting their Wii remotes through the front of their television set, or through windows, or hitting themselves (or their friends) in the head with them.

CNN has another article on the topic, this time about one of their reporters experiences with a Wii. It doesn't say anything new, but, on the bright side, it doesn't advocate imbecilic class-action lawsuits against Nintendo either. It simply says that you should you caution, something that those gamers who frequent sites like Gamespot already know, but those people who who don't go to video game web sites would not.

In my opinion, it doesn't quite go far enough, though that's mainly because in my experience, there are people who wouldn't get a hint if you thrashed them about the head and shoulders with it. It would have been a little better if the article had more explicitly addressed the existing class action lawsuit and suggested that those taking part were *ahem* misguided at best, money-grubbing at worst.

That said, it is a decent article, and bears reading. If only more people in the mainstream media could look at video games with this amount of rationality, then our hobby would be a better place. (That, and people like Jack Thompson would get less time in front of microphones - but that's a rant for another time).
