I fucking hate Wiis

Oh man, I'm really pissed right now. I just woke up a little while ago, and apparently while I was asleep, my mom went out and bought a Wii. That may not sound bad, but just let me finish. See, I already own a Wii. Well, I paid for half of it, and my brother paid for the other half, and since I have a PC, 360, and PS3, I just let him keep the Wii with him most of the time. We got our Wii after sitting in line for 7 hours on Launch Day, and my mom has played it before and everything. She's never even seemed interested in it until recently.

See, about a month ago, my sister had a friend over for a sleepover, and her friend's mom and my mom were good friends about two years ago when we still lived in Kentucky. When they came over, the friend's mom (we'll call her Jennifer) started talking about how much she liked her new Wii and how Wii Fit and (gasp) My Fitness Instructor helped her lose all of 3 pounds. The thing is, Jennifer (and everybody besides myself, really) knows nothing about games, and so I was saying how it doesn't help much of anything, etc.

Well, ever since then, my mom has talked about getting a Wii, even though I kept telling her that it doesn't help, the novelty wears off all to quickly, and basically trying to talk her out of getting a Wii, because it's a huge waste of $250, and even when Mason brings our Wii over here, she never touches it.

I thought she had just forgotten about it all, and moved on, but apparently not. See, though, this isn't even the worst part. Next to the Wii box was the box for something even worse entirely: a DDR game. I just about shot myself right then. Not only had she gotten a Wii despite my warnings, she had also bought a DDR game. This pisses me off even more, because we had the Mario version of DDR for the Gamecube a few years ago, she played it once, said she didn't like it and moved on.

Maybe I'm just being an asshole, I don't know. It just pisses me off that she would go out and waste $300+ for something that I have been trying to tell her not to get. You know, she doesn't often respect my opinion on things (in her defense, though, I'm usually wrong), but it really makes me mad that she doesn't listen to me about the ONE THING that I really know about. Agh.
