Panasonic's Wii-Proof TV Perfect For Controller-Tossing Crazies

Ever accidentally, or perhaps purposely, hurled you Wii controller at your TV screen? Some have, resulting in substantial damage to the screens of their expensive LCD or plasma HDTV's. If you happen to be one of these controller-tossing crazies, maybe you should take a look at this: Panasonic's Wii-proof TV.
Interestingly, Panasonic didn't have to really do a whole lot to Wii-proof their HDTV offerings. LCD screens are pretty flimsy, but plasma screens have a glass-front making them nearly Wii-proof to begin with. The Wii-proof panels are specially treated, offering 4 Joule's of resistance to flying controllers. A Joule is a unit of energy measuring heat, mechanical work, and electricity, and 4 Joules is just enough to make sure your Wii controller bounces off your HDTV screen next time you whip the thing in frustration.
