I got a Wii Fit for Christmas yesterday.  I didn’t realize we were paying good money for a machine to insult us.  First it told me I was fat.  Then it suggested that I am unbalanced and tend to trip over my own feet.  And then, when I did the “yoga” portion, it told me I was stiff.

Um, hello, my yoga practice may not be what it once was, but I really don’t think you can call someone “stiff” who can bend over and put both palms flat on the floor, and also do the splits.

So the idea behind the Wii Fit seems to be:  insult the user so she wants to work out more and prove you wrong?

(Actually I kind of like the Wii Fit.  It’s fun.  I wonder if over time it will be kinder to me.)

p.s. now that Christmas is over and no one is making gingerbread houses, my hits on this blog are way down.  *sniff*
