    Well It's about time we steal that wii from that blind kid. I don't know what in god's name made her think that she should give him a wii.

    haha, this reminds me of dumb and dumber (or is it dumberer?) when they give the blind kid a dead bird.  That was hysterical.

    Its ok guys he can use his echolocation to play zelda with his friends.

    Do you think he can really see?
    I didnt think it was possible for humans to have hearing that good.

    Wow that is so cool! He sees like a bat mang :O

    But if you watched carefully he was playing a fighting video game with someone in one of the clips. So he probobally could get into some video games with the wii. Who knows what he mihgt be able to do with the crazy new controls they're putting in with that system. I say he could still get use out of the system.

    *edit* but yeah clearly she didn't pick the gift out for him, nor even know wtf it was, yet she gets the credit. stupid rich ass.

    Maybe he can't play it. But for the next month or so he owns his friends.

    They will do anything for him to play with his Wii.....that sounded dirty.

    supposedly the kid plays through using the sounds in the video games....but I find it hard to believe that he is any good at any of them...you simply can't play 99% of games based purely on sound, any really good game anyway, maybe a puzzle game based on sound, I dunno.

    it's a nice, but misguided and strange gesture on her part...kinda like Rosie O donnel saying that you should have a dog lick your child's ass when they get diper rash

    Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

    After watching the video...he seems pretty cool. He is the Daredevil. I think it's great to see this guy cope with this blindness. I mean I see all these other shows and movies where the blind is actually disabled, but this kid isn't. I think he earned the wii actually. First black to own a wii...I wish it was me but I think it would be cool for him.
