Little brother does a wee on his big brother's Wii
Category: Wii, Posted: 01/02/2008 at 06:16PM CST by Frank Ling, Editorial Director
The UK Metro reports that four year-old Ellis was getting tired of Danny's fixation with his new Christmas present--a Nintendo Wii.
He was feeling quite the dejected and ignored little sibling and decided to take revenge on him by weeing on his big brother's Wii game console.
The resultant aftermath of this liquid assault blew out the Wii and basically trashed (or waterlogged) the £250 (495 USD) priced game machine.
Kerry Emsley, the mother of the two boys, said of the incident "Danny was speechless with rage, Ellis knew he had done something wrong and went and hid under his bed."
Good thinking.
The father of Danny and Ellis was searching for months for the rare machine and finally scored one for Christmas for the boys. But now, it's all water under the bridge, so to speak. The parents are submitting an insurance claim for the damaged Wii under the provisions of a "leaky house."
"It must surely be counted as a leak," the father remarked.

I cant imagine how he would be able to write off this as an insurance claim.
Very carefully.
I guess the kid was literally pissed off...
Looks like they'll have to buy a new one. Or the lads could play with their own Wii.
What I learned from this, if you hate something, pee on it. I have a use for my terrible games pile now!
Oh the irony. -_-
As much as this living pun should have been foreseen, we all seem to be at the least a little surprised by it.
You know the claim may have been successful had he not gone to press about it.
"the £250 (495 USD) priced game machine."
I think they have that backwards....
Like I always say: It's better to be pissed off than pisson on.
That should have said: It's better to be pissed off than pissed on.
There's no way to edit posts?

What are you on about? Pounds are worth twice as much as USD.
TBH, I'd be a little annoyed if I was called Ellis in the first place. However, I suspect the insurance claim won't go through.
