if you guys are honestly going to take the point that
a car can be taken for a joyride
digital hd tv can be used to watch 90210
guitar can be strummed for fun
piece of paper can be folded into an airplane
a fencing foil can be a toy if you pretend you are a pirate and swing it around
the ocean can be a toy when you try to keep the surf off your toes
a dead body is a toy when you poke it with a long stick
a dildo is a toy -almost everyone said so.
the wii helps us pass time while we wait for the 7th person to show up before we go out to the club/bar what have you.
these are all toy-like usages of these items.
honestly i don't think it's the subject thats wrong. but the audience? although i agree that those could in some way be called toys since they can all be something that serves for diversion rather than practical use. however on the contrary
a car gets me around places and is practical
a digital tv shows me the news and keeps me informed which is practical
a guitar can make someone famous and is a job which is practical
piece of paper can hold the declaration of independance which is practical
a fencing foil keeps you in shape which is practical
i swim in the ocean to stay in shape and that is practical
a dead body is related to someone so don't try to say its a toy
a dildo is definitely not a toy and why it has a prefix (sex) which implies a different meaning.
a console holds my music library and photos and i can solve complex problems within a game which gives me creativity and brain development in problem solving abilities and makes me resourceful.

So if the Wii could do something like bring you the latest news, show you the weather, or play your music you wouldn't consider it a toy?
