Description
On the last Sunday night episode "Million Dollar Maybe", when Lisa was at the store to buy to digital TV converter, she saw Mr. Burns having fun playing the Zii. It the ripoff of Wii, because the console & controller look a like, the Wii Sports, & there even the Wii Zapper, or we could say the Zii Zapper

I hated this parody and am angered that they did not try harder with a company and system name (if they did indeed had no permission to use the Nintendo Brand) when it came to parodying the Wii instead of making it a blatant & painfully obvious knockoff (that's what the show Arthur is for), especially when they have mentioned Nintendo products and characters in the past (hell, even using the same sound effects of the Console AND Wii Sports). Even if they could not use the Nintendo license (even though I feel Al Jean had the permission but did not want to use the actual company and system name because he and the writers want to piss the fans off), they could have tried harder with the name, even if they call it something absurd like "Super Motion Sensing Console 3000" (same goes for how they once used Ipods but are not Mypods, including the Apple brand in whole). It is because of this that I think this particular piece of artwork of yours is crap.

By "rip-off" you meant to say: probably spoofed because they could not use the rights of the Wii?
