A Gold-Plated Wii for Queen Elizabeth

Queen Elizabeth puts her pants on just like the rest of us, one leg at a time, except once her pants are on, she gets a gold-plated Wii. Yes, the Queen Mum’s got a fever, and the only prescription is tacked-on motion controls and the illusion of exercise. This is actually a publicity stunt by THQ for its upcoming Big Family Games, with the story that the Royal Family is “arguably the most important family in the country,” so the company had to commission this special console. Nevermind the fact that she already has one. I guess this will allow Prince William to spend more time with Madworld, or maybe the extra attention will help put an end to later game release dates in England (and the rest of Europe, by proxy). Either that, or the golden Wii will collect dust just like everyone else’s. [via Gizmodo, and the reference]
