#14: The Nintendo Wii
For the Best Parent, proving they are a better parent than you is of primary importance. This was once a dreary and tedious chore, filled with costly tennis lessons and time-consuming carpools to baseball, golf, or soccer practice. Add to this, the Best Parents’ compulsion to condemn most forms of mass media, especially those anti-social video games, and it was indeed the Dark Ages of White Parenting.
But then, in the Fall of 2006, the white light of freedom, fun, and status arrived in a stylish, Apple-esque, box. But this was no overpriced I-tunes-laden Ipod
It not only enabled Best Parents to flaunt their superiority over non-best parents with grand tales of The Best Parent Ever Wii Hunt. It also offered an ostensibly athletic and pro-social experience. No longer would their precious progeny sit transfixed before their Playstations 
flatscreen
Cancel those tennis lessons! Get your refund from Little League. With the Wii Play
game and Smooth Moves
The possibilities are endless in this brave new Wii-topian world. While the Best Parent frequently espouses the virtue of community and diversity, they secretly would much rather live in on their own private Biosphere
So take that, non-best parent who didn’t get up early enough to stand in line at Toys-R-Us or overpay for a console on eBay! The Best Parent is pressing their A-button and waving their numchuck

My God, I have the worst white mother. I knew the empty place under the tree should have contained a Wii.
Now I’m doubting my mom’s ethnicity. Oh darn.

This is funny but riding in the wake of Stuff White People Like. That guy got a book deal and over 18 million hits!
I’ve got to come up with a clever idea as a SAHM…

We have a Wii and I’m quite happy with that fact.

i LOVE this blog more than stuff whtie people like because I always knews I was a white person…. and when I became a white parent….. I felt like I had a void in my life… NOW that void has been filled… NOTHING says “i’m not white” like being able to laugh at enteries on this blog and the others that have sprung up….. nothing says it more except maybe mentioning my tall dark friend Kunta Kente… did I spell that right?
So keep up the good work! I love this…. Every time my husband reads these (or other) pages he points out just HOW MUCH i resemble what he’s read….. he’s right…. I’m white…

I love this site, but this is the one entry that doesn’t quite hit the spot for me. Surely the Wii is just a games console? The latest and greatest games console maybe, but a console none the less. I’m sure Best Parents don’t let their offspring play Video Games. Video Games stunt development just like television, you know. Parking the kids in front of the Wii is more the style of second-best parents, who don’t have a nanny and therefore need something cheaper to entertain the kids.

Doesn’t matter what color you are for this one. Wii is the best babysitter. BEST BABYSITTER! BEST!! Buy three–if you can even get one!!

There are so several large releases coming to the gaming earth in the subsequent few many years that a lot of players are becoming puzzled and commencing to wonder if they are going to be able to get a console gaming system in the future that has a remote command at all. The rapid solution to this is yes, the authentic question is what that remote will glimpse like and how it will interact with the gaming console. Hardcore video games will in no way give up the remote manage completely mainly because it delivers way to considerably precision and handle that are not able to be in contrast to any motion primarily based program controls at this stage in time.

Who wants to hear something refreshing? I found something that is just like that Easy Button that they advertise on TV for Staples. This technology was secretly “copied” from one of the top internet enterprises. There is nothing illegal or shady about it… it’s just kind of secret. And the best part - it is really running on full autopilot. Some people are tempted to exploit this software and use it for unethical web promotion but the owner is asking that everyone who is lucky enough to get it, please try to respect the laws of the internet. If you can spend no more than 3 minutes to download and setup this software, and then click the ‘Start Button’ just once to start this autopilot push button software… Then you can make money online. Basically what it does is bring a stream of free visitors to any website. Don’t even bother trying to figure out how this powerful software works. It’s a pretty amazing piece of software and it just simply… works. Test it out -> http://tinyurl.com/pbcsites
