Wiirotic
When Nintendo unveiled the controversial "Wii" name, many readers noted the unfortunate similarity between the English slang term for a certain human reproductive organ. The resemblances don't stop there. The Wiimote's unique shape is a touch more phallic than the humble television remote control.
No surprise then, that the fan community has produced this PG-13 video making the implicit a little more explicit. Enjoy.

"the English slang term for a certain human reproductive organ"
Say what now? Wii (wee, same pronunciation) has never been an English (British?) slang term for a penis. the word wee means a few things in the UK (its mostly used by the Scots and Irish BTW) 1) Urinating. 'I'm going for a wee' 2) Describing something that is small. 'It's affy wee' (It is very small).
We have plenty of slang terms for penis. These include: Knob, willy, tadger, cock etc. etc. Never in my life have I heard anyone refer to their or anyone elses penis as a Wii/wee.

English doesn't have to mean British, you egocentric wanker. =)

...yeah, "wee" or "wii" or even "we" has never meant "penis" in any way, shape or form. From Urbandictionary.com:
Wee
1) British term used by parents to small children when talking about urinating.
2) Term used by Scottish people to describe something that is small.
3) Used to describe various animal noises.
1) "Mommy, i'm just going to go for a wee!"
2) "Aye, thats a wee penis ya' got there."
3) .. "Wee!"

Wow that was REALLY, REALLY aweful....until the very end. At which point I laughed a lot.
GoldenS1104 @ Jan 9th 2007 10:06PM
since you guys wanna be techinical about it, i guess it is techinically "wee wee" that means penis, not just "wee."
BklynKid @ Jan 9th 2007 10:11PM
Hahahaha, that's funny.

Regardless of whether Vlad means British or every English speaking country (which would be rather strange as slang developed in the US for example would be refered to as American slang rather than English slang) I can find no trace of the word ever being used to mean penis.
Bush roxors! @ Jan 9th 2007 10:30PM
When will you stupid British learn that "English" never includes you guys. It's only American durrrr. Now go back and quietly speak your British crap.

Boxing would have been funnier and allowed the addition of another "player" or double penetration :)

Australian English Wii also only means pee, not penis.
Maybe Americans refer to penis as "wee" as a descriptive name for it.
McTendo @ Jan 9th 2007 11:42PM
Yeah! Y'all British folk don't not understand dat only us American's use the English speak and dat you all them other folk talk somethin' else.
Go back to speakin' dat other tongue, ya varmits! This be American soil ye be a tressapassin' on.
Splinter @ Jan 10th 2007 12:06AM
Please do not think that all americans are as dim whitted as McTendo here. Were not all that gramatically incorrent.
He's either a retard or a texan.

Get bitchy about it. "Wee-wee" would be the correct slang, and it does conjure thoughts of penises to may people. Mainly small children.
I can only assume that "wee-wee" as a term for a phallus stems from "wiener", just as "pee-pee" used in the same way stems from "penis".
And there you have it. Despite the fact that your ancestors did speak the language before the United States was ever a country, you are not the ultimate masters of the language and the universe. Thank you.

The name is still ridiculous. Revolution was much better, and conjured up far more awesome photoshopped images (i.e., the Reggie / Che Guevara admixture).
McTendo @ Jan 10th 2007 12:20AM
@ Splinter
I was just making fun of "Bush roxors!" for his post... which I'm starting to think was a joke post as well.
Jedijoe9 @ Jan 10th 2007 1:34AM
I laughed at the end... talk about hammer ons...ouch

@ Splinter and McTendo
Rednecks don't say "ye".
On topic, guitar hero sodomy FTW.
Asd @ Jan 10th 2007 7:18AM
If you said French slang, I would expect it to be slang used in France, not Quebec or Algeria. Therefore English slang implies slang used in England. And I have only heard wee wee used in American movies.
LongshotX @ Jan 10th 2007 9:22AM
The problem is by calling the Wii the Revolution you would be incurring that it is indeed revolutionary when it is not.
The True Gamer @ Jan 10th 2007 9:27AM
Number 13, shouldn't american be capitalized? And WTF is "incorrent"? These comments brought to you straight from the mouth of a Texan, which should be capitalized also, you ignorant dumb fuck.

I had some objections to that video, namely:
1: Why would any women be interested in that sweaty wife-beater?
2: That mole.
