    Get her to do the wii fitness and get her wii fitness age, that might cheer her up a bit

    It said she was 8 years older than she is:eek:.

    I was waiting for someone to post a link to the original story... perhaps the inspiration for the OP?

    It's hard to tell when something is a joke on here or not to be honest. There are some really mental people on this forum.

    This actually sorta happened to me as well. Me and my girlfriend were using the wii fit and then my girlfriends sister decided she wanted a go. Anyway, it weighed her, told her she was obese and made her character fat. She then started crying and refused to use it again. Is quite a random feature for them to include!

    Could've been worse...it could've said "You are one fat b*****d,Porky!" If she really wants to loose weight & be verbally abused with style & panache,I have a mate who's an PTI at the Parachute Regiment depot in the Shot!

    Typical, I tried to use the dripping word and got yellow carded, you come along and use the fatherless version and get off Scott free!

    It also says "too high" in that weird squeaky wii voice.

    And yes, I'm obese too, but nearly only "overweight", having lost 4 stone this year (partly with help from the wii fit...I love the way it waves at you and says "thank you for taking the test")

    If you look in the background there are hypnotic images of chocolate bars and burgers & fries. Ever wondered why
    you feel hungry after using the wii?

    Love that story, and also the part where an obesity experts states that children should be banned from playing the wii fit - Is it just me or is there something weird about an obesity expert stating that people should not use wii fit :D
