Inappropriate Wii Fit
Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 4:48 pm
Supposedly, this woman in England is up in arms because Wii Fit called her daughter "fat." This despite it saying several times that it cannot accurately determine the body mass index of kids, and not (as far as I can tell) having the word "fat" in its vocabulary.
So it got me to thinking. And, if one of you can animate these (I'm thinking vyn, since no one else knows animation as far as I'm aware), go ahead.
What would be some funny things for the animated balance board or the trainer in Wii Fit to say?
"We'll now measure your weight. Please step on the balance board. One at a time, please!!"
"Wii Fit is not designed for elephants. Are you sure you're not an elephant?"
"I'm going to have to ask you not to step on me again unless you lose about sixty pounds."
"Just because the label says I can support 330 pounds doesn't mean I should."
"We're going to have to limit our workout time to one minute per day. I really don't think I can withstand more than that."
"Ouch!"
"I recommend you lose [X] pounds. The best way to do this will be to not eat anything for a month. Don't worry. You have plenty of fat to live off for much longer than two months."
"God damn, you are one big fatass."
Other fun things it could do would be automatically replacing the Mii with a cartoon pig if the BMI is above a certain point, or animating the running course in such a way that the ground shakes and the other Miis fall down whenever the player takes a step.
This could go for Big Brain Academy, too. "I'd say you're not particularly astute, but there's no way you'd understand me." Or "Someone really should've told your father not to drop you on your head when you were a baby."
