Gadgets with FACES #34: Mario Kart Wii's useless plastic wheel thing

The reason for Wii's success revealed - putting little faces onto things so people subconsciously empathise with it and want to press it into their groins.

Face on my Wii (wee on my face)

"It's not as good as the recent tuk-tuk/van-thing face, I grant you, but I find the pained, yet leering expression reminiscent of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'. You know, the skeleton fella - Chris."

Shit I was going to send this in but the visions of future super-stardom scared me too much.

Good luck, Chris.

Looks very similar to the crazy Dutch lesbian in the previous entry.

It has one of those "Left eye lopez" tattoos as well. Just so that they can be cool with the kids.

It's got a face that you wouldn't tire of beating.

My inlaw has one of these, he thinks it's great. Alas, next time I'm at his house I may well be forced to smash the shit out of it's dumb smiley face, partly because of said face but mainly because of the cheap insult that the whole shit ensemble levels at the original game.

Anyway, is it home time yet?
