The Wii in motion (a Flickr photopool)


Nintendo should just gobble up the rights for the above image, slap some branding across the bottom, and run a nationwide ad campaign. Flickr user Michael T. Gilbert performed a Thanksgiving test on his father whose flannel shirt, Dickies, stoic face, leathered skin and spartan bedroom all evoke decades of hard work while his exceptional bowling form communicates something entirely different.

The rest of Flickr's Wii Motion pool is full of photos (408 currently) of people, young and old, all captured mid-Wii, their flailing arms and exaggerated stretch preserved in digital amber for all time.
