I looked at the author of that Miiverse post and the rest of his posts don't reflect that one post. I'm saying it's a joke.
In other news, it was my turn to take a wallaby joey we're hand-rearing home from work last night, and despite it being fine all night, I kept waking up panicking that something had happened to it, so I had to struggle through work today with very little sleep. Ah well, week off with Yoshi's Wooly World now.

I feel so wrong. I read the first part of your post in my head with an American accent.
I hate how everybody says that Miyamoto-san is no longer great because he's lost touch. If he were to hear out the ones who feel so, he'd probably be sad.
Forged in Fire is the first reality show I could see myself getting into. It's still a little rough - seeing skilled craftsman work under a fairly unreasonable time pressure for the first challenge or two is kinda tough since they get sloppy pretty quick, and you don't really get to see where their strengths lie since it's something that pretty much requires a level head and a decent amount of time. Third challenge really saved it, since at least in the first (and currently only) episode they were given 5 days to make a Japanese katana, and both of them did great, so it was pretty intense trying to find out who would win it, and it came down to some small but incredibly important details.
If anything I was disappointed we didn't get more detail on how they made each weapon. I think if they had more time and made the third challenge the meat of the show instead of the first challenge, it would've been more interesting to me, since they kinda skimmed over a lot of things, never gave anybody even a little focus (I couldn't even keep everyone straight because they moved through the introductions too quickly) and a few of the details the judges brought up weren't even mentioned at all until the judging, including ones that went into the design of one of the Katanas' handles, which ended up being one of the deciding factors for the decision. I'll still look forward to the next episode, which I haven't said about a live TV show in years...almost a decade, actually...
@CanisWolfred, have you tried Man at Arms/Man at Arms Reforged on YouTube? It's a series where professional blacksmiths forge weapons from popular culture (everything from American comics, to video games, to manga/anime, and more).
Just some examples, they've done the Kingdom Key, Captain America's Shield, Master Sword, Ryuko's Scissor Blade, and more.

Yeah, my brother & I saw a commercial for the Bug-A-Salt a few nights ago, and we were so convinced it was a joke, that we just had to go to their website to see if it was true, lol.
We now jokingly refer to it as the "Glenn Beck pest control system", lol (I mean, who other than a conservative would come up with a device that would let you solve your fly problem by shooting them with a gun).
