Wiimotes Breaking Your Set?

So there's report (singular intended) of Wiimote straps breaking and Wiimotes flying into TV screens (precisely what the strap was intended to keep from happening).

I'm calling bullshit.

Nevermind that the frayed spot on the Wiimote strap looks like it was sawed through or cut through in some fashion. A mere 24 hours of gameplay, no matter how strenuous, is simply not going to snap that cord. I find it far more likely that these gamers, drunk and tired, decided that they were too cool for the wrist strap ("I know how to hold onto a goddamned controller!") and chose not to use it. After the inevitable incident, they cut the cord after the fact in the hopes that one of Nintendo's PR angels might want to fix or replace their TV.

I don't see it happening.
