The Hilarious Japanese Wii Safety Manual

I have always credited the Japanese with being a very intelligent people. They’ve created things the rest of the world could only dream of. But some companies don’t seem to share my opinion of the Japanese people’s smarts.

Feast your eyes on these images taken directly from the Wii safety manual in Japan. My buddy Ashcraft over at Kotaku, from whom these scans originated, tells me that most Japanese safety manuals look like this. Perhaps this is precisely the reason we see videos of Japanese kids carefully dissecting and reassembling a PS3, while the U.S. gets videos of idiots smashing PS3s with a sledgehammer.

Damn, I wish the U.S. ones looked like this. They could have advertised the Wii as coming with a free hilarious comic. Priceless.

because i was this close to sticking a spare four-leaf clover into the exhaust fan.
arkadin – my thoughts exactly! hilarious.
Darn it. There goes my good luck charm!
Damn! If only I had read this BEFORE I dumped that bottle of Gatorade on my brand new Wii! It’s not my fault, he looked thirsty!
Um, but 3-leaf clovers are fine, right?
