Woman uses Wii as a debit card machine

[The Genesis of KoOS]

According to HUELEN10, some neighbors with whom he is casually acquainted informed him that they had just given their kids a Wii for Christmas, and then solicited game recommendations. HUELEN10 suggested a few retail games as well as the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Unfamiliar with the Virtual Console, the mother asked for further explanation, which HUELEN10 offered, saying, among other things, that it requires the user to "put in her credit card when prompted on the Shop Channel, and get the amount of points she wanted."

Which she did, unfortunately. Some time later, the mother called her neighbor, furious that their new Wii had been broken by following his advice. She put the credit cards into the Wii, just like he said.

Right into the disc slot.

And when one didn't work, she went ahead and jammed two more credit cards in there. Now, with three unusable credit cards and one busted Wii, she has demanded that HUELEN10 pay for repairs.

Look forward to a new warning screen on Wii games, right after the Health and Safety screen and the wrist strap warning!

She won't get back a dang penny. She's the one that screwed up, and she's going to have to pay for all the damage that she caused for having an ID-10-T error.

people need to take responsibility for their own mistakes

[KStrick]

Someone needs to fill out the ID-10-T form. Just be sure, for identification purposes, to add her debit card number, pin number, and social security/date of birth. You can't be TOO safe, anymore

I have no idea how a Wii works, can anyone explain this whole thing to me?

[Jock Ass]

And where in the Wii manual does it say to PHYSICALLY insert a credit card into your Wii machine again?

Can you say "DEE DEE DEE" wrestlecrappers? I knew you could...

[Cyborg Franky]

Okay this is funny.

[SAJ Forth]

What was she thinking?

Imagine you wanted to buy something off Amazon or eBay. When asked for your credit card or bank account number, instead of typing in the numbers, you suddenly decide your computer is capable of physical financial transactions and physically insert your credit car/bank card into the disc drive.

Lots of people have done that. Makes me weep for humanity.

Wait a minute, so last week when I was trying to buy something from deepdiscount.com and it asked for my debit card stuff, and I folded it up and shoved it in the USB slot, that was wrong?

Damn.

No wonder I haven't gotten my stuff yet!


;D
