Insane. Preposterous. Outrageous. Absurd. Ridiculous. Peculiar.

Are all words that describe the ludicrous Nintendo Wii shortage. This is just “crazy”. OMG. For 5+ months the Wii was on a shortage. Let’s watch the shortage with the eye of different countries

O Canada

I’ll start with Canada’s telescope. Since Amazon (ca) doesn’t sell the Nintendo Wii, I’ll go to Toys“R”Us. They sell the console… but … it is “temporarily unavailable online”

We’re now in ‘BestBuy’ and are searching the aisles for a Wii. We see a sign that points to consoles at the right. You see the 360, the PS3, the PS2 and the Gamecube but don’t see a Wii. You ask a sales rep and he says that their computer says “Quantity Remaining: 0”. You try to hold your anger but then see Mario Kart Wii on the shelves and yell like a little kid. The whole store screams in terror until you see a guy who dropped something he was about to buy.

You pick up the Wii, read the label an see the site

You go to the vacant hall leading to the cashier and put the Wii down an demand that the cashier scans it. The cashier hesitates and does and yells out ”PEACE”. You give him a glaring look and he whimpers like a kid.
