Take a look at this post on Destructoid, featuring female models pretending to play Wii, then come back here for my take on it.

In relation to the pics in the post…

#1 – Tennis
I get it; she’s playing tennis. That makes sense, but why is her hand on her hip? That seems not only illogical but just plain uncomfortable.

#2 – Heh… boobies…
The physical act of running isn’t necessary (especially when you aren’t even holding the nunchuck for the act of swinging your other arm), but maybe this is on Nintendo’s To-Do List – ankle bracelets that act as tertiary controllers? Can anybody say “Track & Field”?!

#3 – What the fuck?
I can’t figure out what the hell she’s trying to do here. Hold a pot over her head? A book, perhaps? Maybe it’s a silly WarioWare minigame? I just can’t think of a real circumstance where you’d need, or want, to do this.

#4 – Grafitti
She looks like she’s crying, while her blonde friend just laughs at her. Ha ha.

#5 – Brokeback Mountain
It looks like she’s riding a horse – kinda – but the real question is, what is she doing with her off-screen hand?

The bottom line is this: nobody’s gonna play a Wii because some pretty girls can pretend to have a good time, especially since they’d probably have just as much fun with a carrot. This is neither appealing to men nor women. What’s really gonna get girls to play, and get guys to want girls to play, are videos like this:
