Well, this guy is not the sharpest knife in the kitchen that I've heard of. He's not really a moron, he's Phil Villarreal, author and critic. And he's out a pricey television. You are the controller? No Phil, you are the guy with the broken TV.

"A public service announcement: Do not under any circumstances play Kinect Sports Volleyball at 1:30 a.m. while standing under a ceiling fan with a dangling chain for a light switch," he writes.

The result was that Phil apparently spiked the dangling chain into his 47-inch 1080p LCD HDTV, leaving it with a rainbow LCD teardrop of death. Kinect went on sale on November 4. It is now November 5. That television was purchased last December, and it never lived to see its second Christmas. How sad.

When the Nintendo Wii launched in 2006, there were also claims that flying Wii Remotes caused accidents — some real, some not. Anytime you get gamers off the sofa and floundering around the living room, you're asking for trouble.

This is why only careful people should have Kinect. I've played with a Kinect and no TV broke.

I bet this guy was tipsy when he was playing kinect...
Kinda sad how he broke it though.

He was most likely full on drunk.

I would be embarrassed if I was him.

lol, I remember reading that awhile ago. One would think it be impossible to break a tv with the kinect.
