Nintendo Wii's Mii Contest Channel is a pleasant diversion for a few minutes or so between bouts of Mario Galaxy or Zelda: Twilight Princess.
In case you haven't heard of it, it's an online competition where Wii owners can enter their Miis into themed contests; recent themes include 'Little Red Riding Hood without the hood', 'football fan', or 'Genghis Khan', for example. As well as entering their Miis into the competitions, players can also judge them, choosing the best submissions out of a random selection they feel best fit the theme.
While it's all good wholesome family fun (as Nintendo enterprises always are), it's a shame the themes can't be a little more edgy. In case any receptive Nintendo execs are reading, here are a few of my suggestions:
• Serial Killers
• Communist Dictators
• Famous Porn Stars
• Disgraced Politicians
• Famous Cult Leaders (i.e. David Koresh)
• The Cast of Dallas
• Gary Glitter
• Bill Gates
• The Varying Weights of John Travolta (by Decade)
