Microsoft With The Funny
Frequent readers will remember my recent commentary about the Wii remote control, and the potential danger that could ensue if you happen to let go of the control while bowling.
A week after that posting, MSNBC posted an article entitled Nintendo cautions gamers on Wii safety – quite a sensible title, I feel. I found out about this article from Microsoft’s daily news emails, which sometimes takes liberties with imposing their own titles and blurbs about articles. I felt this title selection was an… interesting choice.
And I thought I was getting carried away with the “playing with their Wiis” joke. Very clever Microsoft! Although technically inaccurate – you’re waving the Wii remote around, not the Wii itself – it shows a sense of humor that I don’t see enough of in office communications, and I hope more of it comes along.
On a related note - I beat MSNBC to the story by a week!! I think that just goes to show you where to find important news on the Internet first. I also beat Stephen Colbert to this story by a few days.
