Beer Pong, the favorite past time of American college students, has faced ever increasing heat from concerned parents, colleges and the US government. The battle has become so mainstream it made the front page news section of Yahoo.com today.
The Nintendo Wii game formally titled “Beer Pong” has taken most of the heat as the software maker JV Games received letters from angry parents and Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal who were concerned that this new form of digital binge drinking could lead to dorm room deaths.

• Rumors are abound that the Nintendo Wii emits a sound frequency that attracts cockroaches. It’s either that or the source of this rumor is just your average slob gamer who hasn’t cleaned his living room since the original Rygar came out.

• Hulk Hogan wants to pummel Rosie O’ Donnell. Ewwwww
• Define “middle-class” families.
• They say it took 18 months for the smile of the world’s first face transplant patient to come back; it will take equally as long for me to get my erection back after seeing her without make-up.

• No speak English? No cheesesteak for you!

The motion-controlled marvel is set to lead the console pack in holiday sales, outselling both the PS3 and Xbox 360 - if it can maintain its stock. Nintendo’s grip on the gaming industry - both the Wii and Nintendo DS are major sellers worldwide, with combined sales over 1 million in October - may be loosened up with Sony’s recent price drop and Xbox 360’s essential library. Hardcore gamers that already own Xbox 360 will flock to their local electronics store to snag a less-pricey PS3; scrappy gaming upstarts will sink their teeth into Xbox 360’s deeper catalog of games.
But parents? Most of them will wait it out for a Wii. Read More »
