Get out the Wii Fit and have an extremely overpriced good time

Now that Christmas and New Year's are over, lots of people are digging out their Nintendo Wii Fits in an attempt to work off those holiday pounds. But others don't see the value of the $129.99 device. This parody commercial has gotten almost 3 million views thanks to its sarcastic pitch for the "little white thing you stand on" that lets you "explore exciting new exercises like leaning side to side. ... And don't miss sticking out your leg." Then, the announcer suggests, "when you're tired of that, try sticking out your other leg." In case you miss the point, the mock ad asks, "Don't want to invest $3.19 on a hula hoop? Why not pick up a Wii for $300 and enjoy the same fun but in the comfort of your living room and without that annoying plastic hoop."
