Remember that spate of flying-remote, broken-TV mishaps that accompanied the launch of the Wii back in '06? A recent sales pitch on TV's Home Shopping Network ended in disaster when the host accidentally demonstrates why cheap plastic controller attachments can be a liability.
Check out the smooth way the huckster segues into a quick lesson on Wii remote safety -- "Make sure your accessories are definitely latched on all the way" -- and stands in front of the smashed TV for the remainder of the clip. Calm in the face of TV tragedy, he's a regular Sully.
Joking aside, the real tragedy here is that they're trying to sell a $199 Wii, plus 15 worthless controller attachments, for $330. That's worth breaking your TV over.
