Wii toaster

Yeah. It has to be fake. But looking at the patent for a Wii toaster is a heck of a lot more fun than having to survive through the long, dark, mid-Saturday funk when all the good cartoons have already been shown on TV and prime time is still hours away (bring back Transformers, darn it).

The German site playfully asks if this is fact or fiction. If our terrible German translation is correct (hey, we're just making educated guesses based on English-language cognates), the toaster makes game toast disks (or something like that) to replace the outmoded GameBoy system. Hm.

We're betting it's a toaster that makes Mii-shaped bread (those Miis are everywhere). Or maybe you put in a slice of bread and it jumps out shaped like Mario from Super Mario Bros.

Noreen S., who found this Pulitzer-worthy-news-item, thinks this is sure to have motion-sensing. We're already drawing up a lottery to see which QJ writer gets to review this (with orange marmalade and a nice cup of coffee, of course).

Finally, this time next week we'll bring you images of the DS Lite Waffle Iron.

Hey, you have to eat a special diet to boost your gaming skills.

The shoe is on the other foot...

Oh how I laugh. People have mocked me for copying the Wii controller but this clearly plagiarises Location Free Toaster technology in every sense.
