Some folks will do anything for a little attention, and we're happy to oblige, particularly when we get to showcase our big daddy blog Joystiq in a spot of debunking. A reader sent them pictures of his bruised face (and bruised television) and blamed the whole thing on the Wii. He really should have blamed his poor Photoshop skills. Next time you try to scam folks, may we suggest not choosing the second result on a Google image search? Make us dig a little deeper.Apparently, Wiinjuries and Wiisasters are the hip new accessories for gamers everywhere. Forgot those NES belt buckles. The cool kids 'chop in fake Wii wounds for their MySpace pics, and the more hardcore idiots are probably going around actually punching one another in the face with Wiimotes. We just hope someone films it. Where's Jackass when you need it?
On a side note, anyone else think the word "wiinjuries" should die along with all these yawnariffic claims of Wii-related disasters?

All Wii puns should go away. The Wii is not "Wiigion-locked."

I actually got a Wiinjury the first day I played one. I was playing Wii Sports tennis with my boss, yes we were at work, and i accidentally smacked my hand on his controller really hard. Cut my hand open in two spots, it was bleeding pretty good, still not quite healed actually. I didn't take a picture though.

Fake injuries, ish. I do know that if you happened to connect with someone's eye while going for that backhand it could leave a mark. Last night my wife hit my elbow with the mote while I was walking by. Man it HURT ALOT! If it would have been my eye, I am sure I would be sporting a black eye. Not swollen shut mind you but diff bruised.

My mom and I played tennis a bunch of times the first night I had the Wii. Three times she hit me in the arm(1 in the hand, 2 near the elbow). It hurt a little, but she'd always laugh and then apologize a bunch while the damn computers were getting to score. I didn't even look away from the screen.
