10:37am: The Wii is $250.
And, apparently, t3h Internets are pissed

The New York Times announced the US Wii Pricing today(as well as the fact that it's launching on November 19th, two days after the PS3), and the story was confirmed by USA Today. Apparently, there are hundreds of people who were willing to buy it at $199 with two controllers and the kitchen sink, but $250 for one controller and a bundled game is a dealbreaker.

Well, atleast now we all know that the value dividing disappointment from acceptance is approximately $50.

I think that everyone's ignoring the real point here: it launches two days after Casino Royale is released! W00t!

12:17pm: Big Brother 7 spoiler wank on my flist! Now with French and violence!
This wank is small but very angry, and the combination of Big Brother spoilerage and the shootings in Montreal (not to mention Totally Random French!) is just too fucking weird to pass up.

nineashe made a spoilery post in Big Brother 7. Trouble is, the show hadn't aired on the West Coast and she forgot to put it behind a cut. Oops! There is minor outrage, but she fixes it, apologizes, and it seems to end there.

Two days later, enter bubbles11389, catalyst for FRENCHY RAGE! Well, I'm assuming it's rage, I don't speak a word of French. Anyone want to translate?

But it doesn't end there! She makes another post to big_brother_7, explaining how bubbles11389's comment of yeah i'd just like to thank you for ruining the season finale for me has hurt her deeply in her soul in the wake of the shootings in Montreal. No disrespect to the victims, but using tragedy as an excuse to wank? Wanky, dude.

Here is the second post in its entirety, as I suspect it will be bahleeted.

***EDIT:*** Both of nineashe's posts have been bahleeted. A new post from magentathompson has appeared in big_brother_7, calling out nineashe on her creative use of facts. It also includes a link to the reply nineashe gave magentathompson the first time magenta tried calling her out (which was bahleeted.) Nineashe likely won't respond to this latest post, as she appears to have left the fandom! community.

Here's the new post (in case of bahleetion):

Wow. This wank 'sploded quite nicely.
