The sad destruction of Wii related equipment is going international again, from Belgium specifically. This isn't the first one by any means, but I like it when our friends across the sea break things and then tell me about them. It gives me a sense of global community in way that the U.N. could never do. Maybe it's just the Christmas season but I'm feeling oh-so fraternal at the moment. I'm going to let my global brother Epo tell you what happened, after that I will turn on him and call him names for breaking a Wii Remote, but until then it's all about the global fraternity.

"Today, my first Wii accident occured. While playing Wii Sports Tennis with 4 people in a small room, I was about to smash a ball really hard. Unfortinately, since we were playing at such a crowded place, I was forced into the back. The back of that room is a little lower than the rest of it, since it's the room in which we watch TV. I raised the Wiimote, and hit the wood just above me pretty hard, causing the Wiimote's black sender to break. As far as I know, I'm the first person to make this happen! ;-) The Wiimote works perfectly. Photo's of this accident attached, one very clear pic of the Wiimote, and one lesser pic of the room it happened in, with marking of the place of impact. -Epo"

Epo, Epo, Epo... I going to spare you all the warnings that I'm sure you've heard before about not swinging like a wild man, or any of those usual things. I'm not angry with you for breaking things... I'm just disappointed. *sigh* I don't know what to do with you anymore.
