news of the weird

From the local news today:

An Austin man has been accused of trying to choke his girlfriend with the cord of a Wii video game controller after she became angry that he had eaten all of her Girl Scout cookies, according to an arrest affidavit.

Seriously? Oh Austin. Exploding houses, zombie traffic signs and now assault over Girl Scout cookies.

But aren't the Wii controllers wireless?

I asked the same question. And now I have to wonder if the Nunchuck cord is really long enough to choke someone. I will have to check when I get home tonight.

I'm looking at mine, and I think it's long enough to loop around the neck.

Seconded.
