IT WAS BOUND TO HAPPEN: WIIMBLEDON
05.31.07
Brooklyn — the NYC hideout for grown-up nerds (ahem) that brought us whiffle hurling — has now introduced a new "tennis" tournament: Wiimbledon (the extra "i" is for "inane").
Wiimbledon is Brooklyn's first — nay, the world's first! — Wii tennis tournament. Or maybe it just has a cool name. We're clever like that.
Ugh. I'd go do some Adventures in Journalism with this, except it's just going to be unshaven tattooed skinny guys who need haircuts playing video games. A firsthand account would make you feel the opposite of what Miss Sharapova stirs inside you. And we simply can't take that unsexy chance.

I own a Wii and even I think that's pretty gay.
Dibs on Hiingis?
on my knees for 289's skilled photo*creating*
Is it appropriate to play with your wii while looking at that picture?
I hope this post was just an excuse to put up a picture of Miss Sharapova. If so, well done. If not, these damn yuppies are ruining my hometown.
<i>Is it appropriate to play with your wii while looking at that picture?</i>
It's not only appropriate, it's mandatory.
Im bringing Muhammed Ali, taping the Wii-mote to his hand and winning the whole thing.
who even needs the wii if you have the picture? I'd imagine that alone is enough to hone a solid backstroke quite nicely. Especially if your a hipster in a basement in BKLYN.
Exactly where I like you AO.
Wii's are for ladies.
Oates (not Hall), there is no longer a need for HTML!!!! Its a beautiful day!!!
See, I told you
Also, the picture: yes, and I would skeet all over that flat, tan tummy.
oh, no, we aren't going back to "Hoo Boy That's Gay" every day on WL are we?
(yes, I know that isn't a tag for this post, but it might as well be – save for the picture)
Nicely done 289
I just went Wii in my pants. Thanks, Maria.
well 289 I am a willing student……always think I should continue my education.
Hats off to the shadow of the wire across that goddess. Well done.
Oh and hats, jackets, tube socks, whatever off to the Maria. She's all things athletically good. (ALL things good (period) would be Jessica Biel.)
What a bunch of losers. My god. They might as well shout out "I live in my parent's basement and work at Blockbuster for a living."
I do live in my parents' basement, but I don't work at Blockbuster. I work at a sock factory, and something tells me I'll be raiding the irregulars box before I go home today.

This is me four years ago. Seriously.
What a waste of good photoshopping talent. You shouldn’t be adding a wii you should be removing the bikinii.
There has to be a way to fashion the Wii as a bikini, much like the Marisa Miller iPod bikini photo.
If I was just a little bit crazier, I would walk into that "tournament" and piss all over every "player". Fucking dorks.
This is how fat nerds now get their exercise instead of DDR… Good for you fat nerds. Why play real tennis since it involves all that running when I can just lazily swing a controller around and look SUPER COOL doing it too?
As a side note, I got a sore shoulder playing with my Wii while looking at that picture…
Holly Hips Batman…I think I just wii'd in my pants.
When I read the title the first time and saw the picture my first thought was "YES!!! She finally popped out of her dress during a match" is that wrong?
it's just going to be unshaven tattooed skinny guys who need haircuts playing video games
As opposed to clean-shaven tattooed skinny guys who live in Brooklyn? Glad we don't know any of those.
Matt's not clean-shaven, he's lightly scruffed.
Ouch, there's my tennis elbow acting up again.
go brooklyn is such a toilet. adult spelling bees and kickball games! so unusual and quirky and fun! not
