There is also the Wii Fit FUD attempt (failed miserably). It started with a Forbes article saying how Wii Fit does not work and is a fad. His evidence? Kotaku's Brian Crecente.

Then came the backlash. Several guys (Wii Fit owners) e-mailed and commented on Yahoo and Kotaku saying that the article had nothing to do with reality.
Crecente was very reluctant to admit he was wrong:

Yahoo had to write a new article showing how Wii Fit may work - this time using evidence from real users:

But Kotaku never learn ...

Satan said:
"You are for ever angry, all you care about is intelligence, but I repeat again that I would give away all this superstellar life, all the ranks and honours, simply to be transformed into the soul of a merchant's wife weighing eighteen stone and set candles at God's shrine."
