Synopsis

Morgan shows up at Graham's place and finds him playing Oblivion. Graham admits he has been playing for 70 hours and is "celebrating no pants day". Morgan then tells Graham that Nintendo have announced their new console system's name, which is the "Wii". Suitably impressed, Graham decides to go out and preorder one and asks for his pants, only to be given a man thong. Outside, Graham cries out "Wee" only to be accosted by a lawyer claiming to be from Nintendo and is warned that he can not shout "Wee" without paying loyalties. Graham is skeptical only to be handed a subpoena. Outraged, he asks Morgan for his actual pants and visits a campaign group, Families Against Ridiculous Trademarks.

Trivia
