There's got to be a lawsuit in this eventually. Or government regulation.

No Wii here; What’s wrong with shooting zombies for half the day?

Doctors say, don't blame the game -- just don't overdo it.

Can't have common sense get in the way of Government regulation...

In normal sports, the force of impact slows the arm. With Wii, no ball means no force, and swinging through air causes strain. "In this, there's nothing really to resist that force," Sperling said.

Sounds like calisthenics.

>>Doctors in Britain say up to 10 people are hospitalized each week with Wii-itis.

If they had to pay for a visit, I bet there would be a lot less cases of Wii-itis. I hurt my knee on my Wii Fit once and treated it at home. A few days later, I was good as new but I learned from the experience that the Wii Fit is a harsh coach that doesn’t know or care that you are overworking a joint.

I guess we need to send people to the Groucho Marx Medical School:

“Doctor, it hurts when I do this.”

“Then don’t do that!”

Most people I know that play Wii usually take the easy way out, just as they do in real life, if they box, bowl or whatever, they sit down and barely move their arms or wrist to play, and it works. I am talking Teens and early 20s here, my grandkids friends. I don’t see how they could get injuries from the way they play Wii.

Dr. John Sperling call it Wii-itis.

You mean they're all Wii-Wiied up?
