You broke it

Some friends were over playing Wii Sports tonight after Thanksgiving dinner. During an intense game of tennis, Russell said, "some idiot is going to ignore the wrist strap and send the remote flying into their TV--breaking them both." Hardly a second passed before the controller slipped from his hands and went flying towards a window. He looked down to see the strap still tightened to his wrist. The thin string that attaches the strap to the remote had snapped. Luckily, both the window and the controller survived. But I guess it could have been much worse.

[UPDATE: Apparently I'm not the only one having this problem. There are other reports of this happening, some of which involve broken TV's. Hit the jump for a list.]
