Nintendo Wii!

Children and the modern Christmas do not mix. The amount of advertising stuffing electronic items into their chubby little cheeks fills me with a wistful sense of nonchalance. Children are spoilt, Christmas is ruled by consumerism, and the older generation isn’t down with the kids. These truths are summed up with one granny’s generosity.

Just to make it clear, when the old timer says “wee box” she does not mean a commode, or potty. “Wee” is a Scottish word for little. Nonetheless, receiving a potty for Christmas after you had asked for a Wii or an Xbox would be just as amusing.

Aye, Nintendo are playing a cruel worldwide prank by making us pronounce “wee” in embarrassing sentences. “I’m going to play with my Wii now Mummy”; “I really really want a Wii Daddy”. “Go to the toilet then you eejit!”

The Nintendo executives who created the name will be found standing in their shiny offices, pointing at their winkies and miming the taking of a “wee wee”. In truth, all Nintendo is really doing is pissing money. Enjoy the skit.
