Hold On To Your Wii

Let’s face it, the headline had to be written by someone, why not me.

It seems that some folks are having trouble holding on to their Wii.

If you’ve ever worried about putting a hole in your TV set, Panasonic might just be the company that can help you out; Panasonic is protecting its sets from Wii-related damage by returning to classic boob-tube technology for their modern-day LCDs.

It’s a well-publicized problem: A Wii owner accidentally flings a Wiimote into a TV screen, smashing a new 50-incher.

Panasonic has announced a new lineup of flat-screen TVs reinforced with glass used in old cathode-ray tube sets. The classic TV has toughened thick glass to ensure the sets don’t implode, but LCDs and plasmas only sport a thin glass faceplate. Panasonic wanted to strengthen those LCDs with CRT technology in order to allay any Wii worries.

This is quite the obvious solution. Everyone knows that if you can’t control your Wii you need to use protection.
