So I found out there was some text UNDER that movie when I scrolled down after looking at it again.
"It's not about you or me, it's about We!"
First of all, what is "it"? The meaning of life, or video games? Because if it's about games, then it is about ME, not you. I'm not "part of the team" Nintendo, I'm just a customer.
The whole block of text comes off as meaningless drivel. Wii may mean something in English, and there sure are a lot of people around the world that have english as a second language, but for those who have no second language, and I'm sure Americans aren't the ONLY people that, the name is completely meaningless.
Sorry, I'm not buying it. Besides, as PA pointed out, as much as they SAY it is immediatly clear, they apparently had to translate it and make it clear how to pronounce it anyway right in that block of text, which means they know themselves they are full of it.
And lazy, yes a lot of people would talk about Puu Blossoms if there was some world wide mandate, but more people would be talking about Viva La Revolution and likely a war might break out over a seemingly trivial (but in reality, oppresive regime inspired) enforced global law. By the end, the name of "rose" would become a great symbol of freedom and "puu blossom" would have the same negative connotation as nazi.
Yes, such an enforcement of law would indeed change the world, and create world war 3.
If however it just happened naturally, I'm pretty sure no one would care.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
