A Wii Gag...

Written for Tilt...

BEEP OF HEART MONITORS. SOUND OF VENTILATORS.
AIR OF URGENCY.
CRASH DOORS BURST OPEN.

NURSE:Forty two year old male. Suspected cardiac arrest. Let’s go, people.

DOCTOR:Hook him up to a monitor.
External injuries?

NURSEame as the others. Swollen ankles, knees and elbows. Possible dislocated shoulder.

CRASH DOORS BURST OPEN.

NURSE 2:I’ve got three more coming in and we’re already swamped.

DOCTOR:Ring St Joe’s.

NURSE 2:No good. They ran out of beds an hour ago.

NURSE:This is ridiculous, Doctor. We can’t cope.

DOCTOR:We have to.

NURSE 2:But it’s carnage out there.

NURSE:How can people do this?

DOCTORadly, the makers of the Wii Fit grossly underestimated the competiveness of the drunken, middle-aged, British, male.

CONSTANT BEEP OF FLATLINER.

Clear.

It's a very good idea, and it works. SLight nudge, maybe mention a specific game? And more embarrassing injury.

Leaving 'Wii' out of the title would be a help too I think.
