Wii...well you see it sounds like "we" which is you and me and the i's are people playing a game and the W is from the sound a cat makes according to this one guy we know...

Exactly.

Can anyone think of brand names that are this awful though? All I can think of is Head, the sports company. Even though, it's powerful. It's more like "Man, today I'm going to go get some head." rather than "Man today I have to take a wee."

What if Sony renamed the PS3 the "Poopee". They might have a reasonable explanation for it, and they might get an A in marketing class for it (if the teacher has a sense of humour.) But Poopee is the most ****ing awful name you can think of. Wii is TOO. There is no denying this. It just has to be fake.
