Oh, the controversy. You knew it would be, right? Yep, following the Wii Fit campaign comes a brizilliant game, Wii’s “Beer Pong.” You see, the game was rated for teens, but it has the word “beer” in it, so the big whigs in Connecticut got the name changed to “Pong Toss.” That name doesn’t really work now, does it? And what’s in the cups, Kool-Aid?

At any rate, we find the idea stupid, based on the same principal we laid down last time. Why wouldn’t you just play regular beer pong (over 21, of course)? We were over beer pong ages ago (and we mean, ages), but this is going to be a real treat for campus police all over the USandA. Wii Pong Toss + Real Beer = Problems. And back in the day, we didn’t have fancy things like the Internets to guide us through playing Beirut. Seriously, who knew?

In semi-related news, Miss Washington—a student at Pacific Lutheran University—was photographed playing beer pong in her crown and folks aren’t happy. Well, except the college dudes. They’re pretty psyched about it, actually. More “bad apple” pics at TMZ. She managed to ratchet up no less than 133 Google news links all by herself. Now she’s embarrassed and blah, blah, blah, blah, something or other, her friend is evil, and she’s sorry, so there.

You gotta love the “ambition” on her web page, though: “Obtain a Juris Doctorate and practice law relating to behavioral health issues and public policy.”

Beer pong referee, perhaps?

[Editor's Note: We, too, went to a Lutheran college.]
