Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 15 years and 7 months old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

As investigators searched the home near Lakeland for drugs, some drug task force members found other ways to occupy their time. Within 20 minutes of entering the home, some of the investigators found a Wii video bowling game and began bowling frame after frame.

I saw this headline on the local paper this morning: “A Wii bit distracted.” Yes, I’ve done this twice myself (here and here), but that last one was over a year ago. This is the first time I’ve see the use of “Wii” in a major print publication in place of “we” or “wee.” I’ve never claimed to be a good (or proper) writer, but I guess I expect more from the professionals.

All that being said, the headline did what it was supposed to: grabbed my attention and made me read the article.
