It always happens. You get a new toy for Christmas and it's only a matter of minutes before it breaks. Or gets stuck in a tree.

I've heard of several reports of people losing their grip on their Wii controllers and more than a few TV sets getting ruined when the handheld unit collided with the screen. Nintendo thoughtfully provided a wrist strap to prevent such accidents, but inexplicably used very thin thread to attach it to the Wiimote. Guess what? It broke. This has resulted in Nintendo issuing a recall for all of the faulty wrist straps. And it gave me a great gag for this week's cartoon. Enjoy.
