Not Enough Owls!

I don't know who the geniuses are behind this, and I don't even remember where I found this site originally, but you must read Not Enough Owls: The only serious students of owls in videogaming. Here's their take on Wii: "In response to this afternoon’s exposé concerning the plight of Blathers - a once-proud owl drugged and used to propagate lies and stereotypes about his species - the company has effectively ruled out any chance owls had of appearing on its next-generation console by legislating against creatures without bladders. “Wii will break down that wall that separates video game players from everybody else,” Nintendo said. That’s our emphasis - but the phrase stands out a mile away. It’s us and them, says Nintendo. “No confusion. No need to abbreviate. Just Wii.” Unless you can’t of course, in which case you’re an owl, in which case you’re not welcome." Someone is brilliant, and they have a valid point about owls. Now if only somebody would devote a blog to how horrendously maligned bats have been in video games over the years. I would worship them.
