Wii Fit for expensing as fitness equipment
The blogger of the enthusiastically-named "Wii Fit is It" blog (is Coke not it anymore? Wasn't Coke it?) apparently works for a very progressive company. His workplace provides each employee a $150 allowance for exercise equipment or services. Instead of getting a gym membership or a Gazelle Edge (sorry, BallyTotalFitnessFanboy.com and TonyLittleFanboy.com), he got a copy of Wii Fit.
Apparently, the person in charge of approving the claims knew all about Wii Fit (possibly from having the television on or any magazine open at some point within the last few months) and was looking for a copy himself. It's nice to see Wii Fit treated like an actual exercise tool in some official capacity!

"Hi, I'm Bally Total Fitness, and I'm going to insist you sign up w/ a 3-year agreement, then leave absolutely no clause with which you can get out. Cell phone companies offer a 150$ fee, but not us! If you want to get out of your contract, you're gonna have to move 50 miles away from any area code in which a BTF resides. Sorry, but we're assholes!"
End rant. I know, one could benefit from such a program with regards to working out, but it still pisses me off.

Haha, spot on impression!
Bally's are such ripoff artists. "Oh, you actually want to workout any day of the week? That's gonna cost you!"
