Wii users in motion: Flickr photo pool

BoingBoing reader Mario Anima says,


A group dedicated to photos of people playing the Nintendo Wii has been formed on Flickr, and the results are pretty hilarious.

Half of the fun with the Wii is watching others while they are playing the Wii. Many of the photos consist of what you might expect, young gamers in awkward poses — laughing, making odd facial expressions, and having a lot of fun while making a total fool of themselves.

The surprise is the photos of people you wouldn't necessarily expect to see, like Michael T. Gilbert's photo of his dad playing Wii Sports Bowling [ shown here ]. They tell an entirely different story, and likely one Nintendo had hoped would come to fruition with the Wii.
