Good going, Nintendo! If you chose a name that wasn't so stupid, those kids would actually have a mother.
I don't see how you can reasonably blame Nintendo for that contest. Unless of course you have some sort of evidence that it was their idea.

And the name has caused a lot of raised eyebrows when it was announced, but it's really quite clever- it signifies how the Wii is meant to be for everybody and stuff.

Apparently.
