"But what does it mean, Mario?"
Watch out if there's a camera behind you!
The 7pm Project (an Australian comedic take on the news) have noticed something strange about the way that the hosts of another certain popular Australian show were showcasing the controls of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. Judge for yourself!

Let this be advice to all of you aspiring television show hosts who may one day be asked to demonstrate the controls of a Wii game on National Television!

I actually find it worse that they called it "Wii Fit Winter Olympic Games."

Ah ha, Ah ha, Ah ha. Karl Stefanovich, what a completer loser. God you make me laugh. I bet it was a situation like the Logies the night before that made him act that way.

@47drift But it's Dave Hughes he is so bogan that he can be excused for not knowing... He really doesn't care what the game is.
I actually watched that segment on the morning news and had a good laugh...

I indeed certainly LOLed at the "Wii Fit Winter Olympic Games" and the stupidity of the people playing the Wii.

Whats worse, how stupid the people playing looked or how they got the name wrong?

To let people know here, nobody got the name right. On the Today show (ones playing Wii) They called it Wii Curling.

The name thing is much worse. I almost thought for a moment that they were talking about two different games.

Not to mention that they played too freaking close to the television in the curling segment. Even if they were wearing the straps, they were so close to the screen that it wouldn't have mattered.
The second segment with the newscasters attempting to bobsled was a little too overboard (the gentleman was having too much fun). When I saw that I thought that if that segment would have appeared on the Today Show or The Onion then they would have taken the footage and REALLY ran with it.

LOL, and people wonder why 360/PS3 fanboys never touch the Wii. Supid crap like this! Absolute disgrace to gaming. Imagine how funny the vidz are going to be with people acting dumb with Natal. Remove the controllers from this video and just imagine......

Question about the game they show- In curling, does the sweeping motion act as unresponsive as it seems from the video?
Oh, and I can't stand when people get names wrong on things they report on, I don't care if it's a comedy news program or serious, it just shows a huge lack of respect for the repoorters that do their jobs the right way.

I'm not a fan of SNL(Saturday Night Live), but I do believe this could pass as a skit of it. & that Wii Fit Winter Olympics bit was just stupid. This is why newbies to gaming on any platform, don't know what games are out there - due to poor reporting. & the co.s not advertising as they should doesn't help.
On another note: this defiantly passes as Youtube parody(commonly called Youtube poop). It Buuurrrnnnsss....

@47drift: we should all write flamboyant emails to the show and ask them to correct their typo...
and maybe offer our gaming knowledgable services to them for a nominal fee...

@1.47drift: Ah, what are you going to do? It's like when non-gamers call Xboxes "Play Stations". But this is a TV show (althought not a very good one) and they really should've at least asked their kids what it's called.

Wow, what great publicity... This game looks more like a masturbatory aid than the first Rayman Raving Rabbids.
