I've been with the Wii Fit for a little over a week now, and I realize now that we have an unhealthy relationship.
That became clear today when a co-worker brought in a bag of Candy Cane Creme Oreos, aka The Oreos That Taste Exactly Like Girl Scout Thin Mints. I went into the kitchen, saw the bag, and went to grab some. But then: I was frozen in my tracks by the echo of a little electronic voice in my head...
THAT'S OVERWEIGHT.
The Wii makes me take a body test every day. I don't want to do it everyday. It seems unhealthy. But it yells at me when I don't, and I just want to make the Wii happy. So I take a body test, everyday. And everyday, the body test ends with the same result:
THAT'S OVERWEIGHT.
Of course you think I'm overweight, Wii! You were calibrated to weigh tiny little Asian women with their tiny purses and tiny dogs and tiny tiny cell phones. How am I supposed to live up to the impossible standard they have set for me?
But you don't care. You just call me fat, and make a pained little noise ("ooh!") everytime I step on your little balance board.
Well guess what, Wii. I just ate 9 Oreos. YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME.
