You can't write headlines much weirder than that, but it is not in dispute that Keith Wiens, a retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, shot and killed his common-law wife after she demanded that he pay up—in foreplay, evidently—for losing to her in a Wii game.
Wiens told a jury in British Columbia that he acted in self defense on that night in August 2011, and that his wife, Lynn Kalmring, attacked him with a knife. The two had had a rapidly escalating argument since getting drunk and playing Wii and making wagers "of a sexual nature," on the games.
When Wiens went upstairs to go to bed after playing the console, he found sex toys on his pillow. He brushed them aside, saying he needed to rest up for a round of golf the next day. "He said Kalmring became upset when she saw that he was not in the mood to settle the bet," reports the Penticton Western News.
Kalmring then broke out that no-win accusation: "You're not attracted to me, are you," and though Wiens said he assured her he was, he was just tired, the argument dissolved into an expletive-filled tirade. He said his wife left the bedroom, returned with a knife and rushed him; Wiens had already armed himself with a pistol he kept in his bedside table, saying he feared for his life. He shot her once in the head.
A forensic pathologist earlier testified that he believed a knife police found in Kalmring's hand had been placed there after her death, reasoning she would have dropped it when she was shot.

If you need implements which are not part of your body in order to have fun, you are doing it wrong.
We’ve already established that he was lazy.
He should have taken a lesson from Obama, who always has enough energy to screw (us) AND play golf.
My sympathy meter just dropped significantly.
Ice cubes, Strawberries, whip cream and Champagne are kind of fun
Sounds like a variation of “Rule 34.” No exceptions.
Take off you hoser, eh?
did she want to use the implements on him? or was she PO'd cause he wouldn't use them on her???
Perhaps, but I prefer to have sex with a woman.
If I’d have shot my ex when I first wanted to, I’d have been out by now.
When your cable company keeps you on hold, you get angry.
When you get angry, you go blow off steam with a woman you are not attracted to [shows a man and a woman playing Wii aggressively]
When you go blow off steam playing Wii with a woman you are not attracted to, you make stupid bets so as not to have to sleep with her.
When you make stupid bets with a woman you are not attracted to in order to avoid sex, you usually wind up losing the bet and finding sex toys on your pillow.
Don’t wind up finding sex toys on your pillow, placed there by an unattractive woman, get Direct TV”
You know what I meant ;)
Careful, or the Trailer Park Boys will sic Steve French on you.
Best not to ask.
None whatsoever.
Yeah, he should’ve at least attacked Syria first.
You have a future in advertising. Or Democratic policy development.
This is a tragedy. RIP.
