Please take this as a lesson: you must use protection whenever sharing a phallic object with strangers. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a real phallus or not; it doesn’t matter if you’re a person or a multinational conglomerate based in Japan. Use protection, or you will pay the price.
The price for Nintendo, according to Joystiq, is $18 million to ship Wii Remote Jackets to any customer who requests one. The problem here isn’t herpes or pregnancy; it’s broken televisions, smashed Wiimotes, and injured children. The solution: latex.
Joystiq quoted IGN for this figure, but if there’s such a story on IGN, I couldn’t find it.
Don’t forget my Name the Wii Remote Jacket Contest. Whoever sends me the best name (apart from “Wii Condom”) for the Jacket gets GGL swag!
