WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive admitted to being a lot of things in my days: a genius, a sex stud, good looking, a superior athlete and great smelling. One thing I have never admitted to was being a marketing genius. However even without godly powers of marketing and advertising I know a bad idea when I see one and Nintendo has pulled a bad one from the depths of hell.
Apparently the big N has decided it wants to lose ANOTHER round of the console wars by renaming its next-gen system from Revolution to.....




Wait for it....




Here it comes....




Can you feel the anticpation....



Introducing....


the Wii!


Thats right Nintendo's official name for their next-gen system is the Wii (pronounced 'We'). Well I could go on a rant about how stupid of a name it is but that would be like beating a dead horse with Mr. Obvious's severed head so Im just going to go on record as saying the commercials for the Wii are probably going to be freaking hilarious with a name like that.

Beavis: "Dude, I just urinated all over my Wii because it was overheating."

Butthead: "Huhuhuh. You just took a wee on your Wii."

Beavis: "Oh yeah...heheheh. Let's go get some nachos."

All third grade humor aside, Nintendo should really be ashamed of themselves. If it was an acronym for something then maybe I would let it slide. The bathroom jokes are obvious, straight out of the gate. I mean, "Come on Nintendo". Surely you can see that!

I'm sure that within a month of the launch, someone will have a "Revolution" logo kit that can be used to cover up all of this "Wii" garbage. I honestly think that the gaming community will reject this new name but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
