    Somehow I just don’t see the Nintendo Wii-skateboard connection, but Black Market does. Unofficially, that is. This upcoming skateboard deck—I think that’s what you call them; my Tony Hawk days are long gone—looks a hell of a lot like the Wii remote control. It also doesn’t seem to have Nintendo’s blessing, which means we can expect a lawsuit in 4.2 seconds.

    I don’t know, would riding around on a Wii skateboard add or remove “cred”? To me, gamers and skateboarders seem like opposing cliques.
