Hecker Apologizes for Wii Comments

He apologized? What a pansy. I agree that his professionalism was lacking. It's okay to rant, but when you're making a speech with press coverage I don't think anyone should be starting off with "The Wii is a piece of shit!" It could be any product, but having the word "shit" in your first sentence or anywhere in your speech... not so smart. When you're high up as these guys are, you're ALWAYS representing your company, no matter where you are. For example, if Miyamoto goes on vacation and gets arrested the headlines will read "Miyamoto, Nintendo's Game Guru, Gets Arrested for DUI." He's not representing Nintendo on vacation, but Nintendo is represented in the press anyways. If someone is news worthy in the first place, the press will remind you why they are news worthy.
