Wii Warm Up: Anything for a Wii?

We understand the intense desire that people suffer before the release of a console, or in the drought thereafter, when not a single unit can be found in the wasteland that is retail. But have people begun to go too far? When jokes are made about desperate measures on South Park, when a story (whether it's true or not) drifts through the internet about one mother's quest to get a Wii, and now, when someone seems to have died after a radio contest for a Wii ... have we maybe become a little too crazed? We'd love to hear what you think. Is it just a simple lack of consoles, or has demand become heated to the point that it's ridiculous? Are people blowing things out of proportion?
