Pee and Win a Wii

Dark Arcanine | September 15, 2008 | News | Wii Gaming Tech/Hardware 
Everyone remembers the old jokes about the Nintendo Wii in the early days right? Well now there's on concerning sexually transmitted diseases, a touchy subject. It seems adolescents aren't getting tested as much as they should.

So now, doctors are moving with the times. In the UK, there is a promotion being held for 15-25 year olds to be tested for the STD chlamydia. So they came up with the concept of "Pee for a Wii" to entice young adults with the possibility of winning their own Nintendo Wii.

Although it may say something about their mentality, that a game is worth more than their health... at least they're going, right?
Apparently some young adults are buying into it, Keeley Wilson (20) said: I probably wouldn’t get tested if there was no incentive. But if you could win a Wii you’d probably do it even if you weren’t at risk.
