Now it will fly through the tv and the wall behind it, outstanding!!

Kill your dog? Meh, with these you could kill your whole family and even claim it was an accident.

not to mention you only use one hand playing with a wii-mote, so only arm arm would hypothetically get "buff"
hah, getting buff playing wii
5. BK - January 23, 2009 3:12 PM
Oh, man! They LOOK like dog toys. The dog will be BEGGING to get hit (die).
That's just f***ed up.

#4 Hehe, after that you'd have to deal with harassing questions from people assuming your masturbating habits have tripled

@4. melly - Maybe wii fitness lets you use two? I wouldn't know, cause I don't play Wii, but if there isn't already a work out program that uses two controllers, I'm sure there will be soon.

bad idea...

Introducing the new and improved Wiimotes! They can now break CRT TV's as well as plasma.
I am not a cathode ray tube technician, I just play one on T.V.

...lazy people...... It's called exercise...you should try it someday and stop playing with your wiiwii

Too bad everyone who plays the Wii and is over the age of 30 can't lift over 2 lbs anyways...
12. Daisy - January 23, 2009 3:26 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. Yuo can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was working out with weighted wiimotes and hit his dog, Lazerus, instantly killing it. His next door neighboe Pene Squirty who breathed the breath of life into the hound instantly bringing it back to life.
After this the dog had an insatiable hunger for brains, but unfortunately for the dog there are no brains in Max's neighborhood.

bad enough i already concussed the german shepherd... turning a hamfist into a 5lb sledge is a bad idea
14. JK - January 23, 2009 3:28 PM
god damn, Daisy is f***ing annoying
15. SiGee - January 23, 2009 3:28 PM
This is what LSDiesel lifts when I am not around.
He is trying to get buff for me.

Why not add a chain that goes on your belt?
17. Dr.Known - January 23, 2009 3:53 PM
#14 That's not Daisy, but the imitards are annoying I agree. Daisy's comments always reference movies most of us have seen, not mirroring stories we've just read

Answer for #7: Wii's Jillian 2009 Fitness Ultimatum uses two Wii-motes, instead of a wiimote and nunchuck so that you don't get tangled in the wire and also you can fully extend your arms, if you have a 6ft wingspan.
Weights for Wii-motes are good. In Wii-Fit there is a Tricep extension routine. The Wii-mote has no significant weight for this exercise, although the end of the exercise suggests you add weight, for instance a bottle of water. But how then will the wii mote provide feedback on movement to the game unless you tape the bottle of water to the controller.

@ 18 That is right. I have that and I try to hold my weights along with the remote without dropping them. I would only buy that for the Wii fit because of the exercises on their that could use weights.

You gonna find your WMD. Just wait till the Wii Bowling Ball accesory comes out.
21. Thumperchica - January 23, 2009 5:17 PM
Hey, I think this is a good product idea. It's not the manufacturers fault that peolpe are wiitards. Example - read the bright yellow warning sticker on your clutch fan (please do so while car is off) they generally say something like "Please do not attempt removal while vehicle is running"...

Like anyone would actually buy these...Wii owners are too adversed to actual physical fitness that they can't go to the f***ing gym in the first place that they have to resort to swinging shit around in front of their TV's.
The Wii is f***ing GAY. Buy a real game system if you want to play video games, and go outside if you need to exercise.
This is like eating a salad at the bottom of a pool of lard.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max builds a baseball diamoind in his corn field and then a bunch of old timey players emerged from the corn to play on it.

This is exactly like that scene from the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula makes a fortune from selling kittens in jars.
