Wii Fit madness in UK: Woolworths renames itself as 'Wiiworths'

shuandrew | 9 days 20 hours ago | News | Wii 
In something of an unprecidented show of support for the Nintendo Wii and specifically Wii Fit, Woolworths stores in the UK have renamed themselves 'WiiWorths' and plastered their storefronts in advertising for Nintendo's exercise-based game.
...That's just what Woolworths in the UK has done, re-naming themselves 'WiiWorths' especially for the launch of Wii Fit and plastering their storefronts in Wii Fit marketing material.

      Strange...I just hope that the store name is temporary and not going to stay like that. Ninty Fanboyism.

    This sure is madness. I mean who the hell would change the name of their stores to include the name of a gaming console? Nintendo fanboyism at its extreme.

      It can't be a hoax. Read the article, it has a picture.
