There is an episode of the Simpsons where Bart, after having refused to mow the lawn (or some similar demonstration of total lack of interest for housework), is seen playing not the Virtual Lawn Mower, but the Virtual Virtual Lawn Mower!

Silly Groening? No, not at all. If any of you ever thought about what's the use of Wii Fit and why not go to the gym instead, check this out : Riiflex is a set of weights for Wiimote and Wii Nunchuck, which will allow you to do even more of the fitness stuff at home. They come in two and four-pound versions, are expected to start shipping Summer 2009, and a pair (one for Wiimote and the other for the nunchuck) will cost you $35 or $40 respectively (with 30% off on pre-orders).

Here's a question : how long till we see a virtual virtual?
