Lady actually inserts credit card into Wii slot, breaks Wii

Usually, there's nothing funny about a woman abusing her slot, but this one is just too good to pass up. A NeoGAF eyewitness has recounted the tale of how his neighbor -- a poor, unassuming, completely out-of-touch woman, tried to make a purchase on her Wii -- by jamming three credit cards into the disc slot!

After having to ask what a Virtual Console was, the would-be big spender had been informed that she could purchase games for the Wii by taking it online and then "putting in her credit card" when prompted. She took it literally. When the first card failed to do anything, she believed she had to keep putting them in until there was enough to make it work. Somehow she has survived to adulthood without getting killed.

Wow, just....wow.......

[Covenant]

I smell a Darwin Award in her future...

[mint royale]

services to stupidity...

[Snake Raiser]

"A NeoGAF eyewitness "
EYEWITNESS? He stood there while the lady broke her wii!?!?! Even by BIG BOSS'S standards that is just cold, man.

[jadenkorri]

if my girlfriend did that, i wouldn't just let her do it, i would record it myself....i may not get laid for the month, but the posting on youtube would be epic...

[ind1]

We all know it is rather stupid, but we've all learnt how to do this at one stage.

When the guy said "You can put in your credit card", a person may just assume that it would be possible to do that considering the technology these days.

I mean, I wouldn't do it because I know how it works. But the Wii slot is pretty credit-card inviting in a way. I mean, it'd fit right in.

So I don't think her assuming the credit card going in the Wii is really "that" stupid, but when she put in more then one.. I think that is going a bit over the scale.

[Panthers]

If Al Gore can get a Nobel prize for a stupid movie, anyone can get one for anything. I would not be surprised.

[TapiocaMilkTea]

Maybe not so funny in the future when we can actually do that. We'll be more amazed about why the Wii is not capable of accepting credit cards in its disc slot.

[CobraKai]

So this is Nintendo's new demographic? Good move now she'll have to buy a new one and that put's more money in Nintendo's pocket.

[BRG9000]

It's true that misunderstanding "put in your credit card" can be forgiven, but what really got me was that she continued to cram in more cards "until there was enough to make it work". That's not just misunderstanding video game technology, that's misunderstanding credit cards and probably misunderstanding life altogether.

[phosphor112]

the Wii is doing so well..because the buyers are well..you know..

(dont even say, "no, i dont know" lol)

[Forbidden_Darkness]

Ok, its not even a blonde who did this, because a blonde atleast knows how to shop.

[Rice]

thats so true... cheer bubbles, which i use to have.:(

[Megatron08]

My room mate in college work as a pc tech for the school. He told me he walked in to one of the computer labs once and a girl had a drink with her. He infos her that shes not suppose to have drinks around the computers her reply to him was "then why does it have a cup holder"

[AuToFiRE]

whats sad is ive actually encountered that myself and thus the reason why i have no hope for humanity

[theEnemy]

Wiidiot.

[ChickeyCantor]

xD...
Come on this has to be a joke...xD

[Well doesn't it show? i mean they don't buy software?! Meh i still call it a joke xD this can't be real]

[Snake Raiser]

I guess she didn't know what was supposed to go in there because she didn't have any. soft ware.

[rhood022]

Welcome to the changing face of gaming...

Thanks Nintendo.

[INehalemEXI]

lmao

[silvacrest]

Yeah...lets blame nintendo for this

they seem to do no wrong this gen except pump out crappy mini games :)

[Product]

the story seems alittle made up to me......3 credit cards?no way.If it is true then the woman has an IQ in the negatives.

[UltimateIdiot911]

You'll be surprise at how many ignorant and stupid people are out there. I always get a good laugh and/or a facepalm.

[Itrguy001]

i so fcking agree. this is like McCains Mom huh?

[Sangria]

When we say that money and women is a very dangerous combination...

[poindat]

"Usually, there's nothing funny about a woman abusing her slot"

Wow... heh.

Anyways, these kinds of people always make me feel better about myself. Remember, no matter how brainless you are, there is always someone with less of a brain than you.

[Qbanboi]

xD Holly Sh*T

[Scotracer]

Quite ironic that you are mocking someone for stupidity and you misspelled Holy and capitalised the "S" in s***.

Just an observation.

(and no, before you Americans comment on my spelling of "capitalised", try looking up the real English dictionary (Oxford English Dictionary) and check its spelling).

[Snake Raiser]

Hello, I am American. I am BIG BOSS, your avatars father. He was trying to be sarcastic.

[VigorousApathy]

Actually, "capitalised" is the British-English spelling. The American-English spelling is "capitalized." I'm sure it gets annoying being corrected by idiots, but that's no reason to imply American dictionaries aren't real.

[Cheeseknight28]

Nice spoilers, jerk. I had just started playing through the series and was hoping that no one would spoil it for me.

Thanks a lot.

[Dogswithguns]

Oh, hell no. it sounded like only a grandma would do that.

[Itrguy001]

*Cough John McCains mom Cough*

[wwedx]

thats dumber than when i put a psp disc in my ps3

[EastCoastSB]

How'd that work out for ya?

[wwedx]

i had to stick a nife in it and i sold it beacuse i thought the laser was gonna break

[Salvadore]

Another lucrative business model for Nintendo, add a credit card slot to the Wii and watch the system print EVEN more money.

[Sharpshell]

at first I juist thought :what a moron" but maybe nintendo should read this and take heed to the mandate. Your so right, if they DID have a credit card slot... I cringe just thinking about how much money they could make

[Snake Raiser]

now knows what kind of people buy the wii.

[Covenant]

"Abusing her slot..."

[chrisnick]

when i put my credit card in my ps3........it tells me how much my next bill is and my overall credit score......while telling me my blood pressure, sugar levels and feeding me grapes.

[arsenal55]

"Somehow she has survived to adulthood without getting killed. "

LOLOL

[Snake Raiser]

ya, that was pretty cold.

[sonyjunky279]

*facepalm*

[LinuxGuru]

Ahahahaha!

[Narutone66]

to the term "Wiitards".

[NegativeCreep427]

To the term:

[rhood022]

It's a shame that medical and technological advancement have seriously hampered "survival of the fittest."

[shovelbum]

Another example of why people should take a test before having children.

[Sharpshell]

I think its better example that standards for approval of credit cars is not nearly high enough. I mean this woman had three! anybody this dumb should have one credit card let alone three. And people wonder why we have a debt problem in this country

[lizard81288]

if you buy a japaness wii game, they have a card/small piece of paper, and it has a picture of a person sliding a card into the wii, i can't read Japanese, but i'm going to guess its a warning not to do that...

[UltimateIdiot911]

Those weird and entertaining pictures in Japanese manual hold so many truths. I wonder why the US haven't adopted this yet.

[JHUX]

haha if this is real all i can say is WOW, lol but eitherway I got a huge laugh, cause either way I look at it, I could definitely see this happening, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt that it actually did.

[Snake Raiser]

Had to happen eventually right?

[Boty]

Just an uninformed consumer. There is a lot of them these days.

[Snake Raiser]

ya, you would be heartless not to feel at least pity for her.

[cereal_killa]

Why was PPs mom trying to put her credit card in his Wii. now he really has nothing to play :(

[Shoko]

Whoa-ho-ho, your hilarious =/

[Voiceofreason]

Complete BS... 1 I can buy, but 3??? That's just someone wanting to make up a ludicrous story.

[Shnazzyone]

i haveto question the validity of this story. It's almost unbelievable that someone could possibly be this dumb. It's one thing to shove one damn credit card in there it's another to shove three. however i would question the validity of how it could make the credit card unusable. Nothing really magnetic in there and nothing could grind a card up i'm suspecting.

I'm just shocked that apparentloy the one flaw to nintendos flawless design is a couple plastic squares shoved in the disc slot.

[Product]

i find it untrue just for the fact that the vacuum wouldnt work after the first(i would assume although im not gonna try it)
Even Nintendowiifanboy and Nintendoeverything thinks the story is false.

[Enigma_2099]

... shortly afterwards, she put a Wiimote through the TV screen.

[PopEmUp]

retarded people I've heard for sometime now ROFLMAO

[Red-Blitz]

Now thats something you don't hear everyday...

[T-Baggins]

And people actually think the Wii is going to last, the people who buy it (not all of them) don't even know how to use it, its a fad for house wife's and old people and there interest will end.

[Product]

in this situation it was a mom who bought it for her kids.The kids prolly would have had better luck...kids nowadays are smarter then we give them credit for.

[McDaygo]

There's no cure for stupid. Damn. I mean Damn.

[Pika-pie]

Stupid woman.. haha

[lelik]

roflmao that has to be the funniest thing ive ever heard. my mom doesn't even know how to work a remote control but she would never try something like that.

[mxdan]

Thats pretty funny!

Some people are still new to technology...

[Creep]

maybe someone should stick their pecker on one to what happens?

[gamfreak]

ha ha ha, who in the world do that....? Bet she is the dumbest person ever to walk the earth. PP where are you, oh don't worry you're not alone....! Loooooooooool.

[she00win99]

i thought xbots are dumb, but wii owners are worst...

[Arsenal4Ever]

Happens only in America :)

[FordGTGuy]

Stupidity is a world trait......

[mariusmal]

once in a computers class the professor said to insert the floppy disk on the pc entrance... guess what half the class did? they didnt insert in the floppy reader.....

[TIKUP]

ahahahahaha this is funny as, what a stupid woman she turned out to be!!!!!

[CrAppleton]

That's the greatest sh!t I have ever heard

[ta1snake]

That can't be serious. lol

[Vip3r]

Makes you proud to be a man.

[SAiOSiN]

LMAO!

[BuckyBarnes]

take notice nintendo, this is your core market now.

[MmaFanQc]

this girl is lucky to still be alive with that level of stupidity.

[Anon1974]

I used to work for a private computer training facility as their lab tech. A women inserted her floppy into the drive (you kids may not remember the floppy disk) with the plastic sleeve on it because she thought it was there to protect her disk from viruses.

I had to pull the computer apart, take out the drive, take it apart and get out this stupid plastic sleeve wedged in the back. After that we put little signs beside the drives to remind people to remove the plastic sleeves before inserting disks.

[blockhead1700]

haha this has just made my christmas holiday

[zonetrooper5]

I lol'd but I read this on /v/ yesterday.

[Hitster]

If I knew someone that tried that I would leave a rope in the room and tell them to just end it.

[Endless_Echo]

It's like that time when my brother put a sandwich in the VCR....

[MizzRock]

And if he was an eyewitness he should've helped her. Although that would be cool if we COULD insert our cards instead of putting the number.

[IVYvsTAKI]

This is some funny a$$ $h!t right here. I can't believe somebody would do something that silly! It's Ludicrous! This broad must be having a rough go at life.

Makes me wonder if she can even play video games...

[RaxeK]

I wouldn't feel pity for her. People may be new to technology, but reading has been around for a very long time. Instructions pop up on screen, read and follow. What's next, retard neighbor tries to put wii discs in an ATM machine? It's probably a fake story but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

[Hal Emmerich]

I can't believe she did that, I want to believe that actually happened lol. It's nice to see a lighter subject on N4G for once rather then the constant 360 V.S PS3 rubbish.

[sanamsingh]

Why is 'An Inconvenient Truth' a stupid movie?
