Apparently, a mother bought a Wii for her two boys, for Christmas, and as they were playing on it, their Analog sticks and wires were turning pink, slowly. No, it's not from getting in food, it's probably because of it being played TOO much, even moreso than me. That's what my sister says.

No, but if you wanna throw a spaz, I'll go with.

Of course, it's said that a Q-Tip dipped in bleach might restore the whiteness to the Nunchuk Analog tips, and to the wires, but she also said that it would end up burning, too.

Wow, that's really weird. I've noticed the analog stick on my nunchuk turned into this ugly light brown color. Maybe it's similar to this, or that's just a lot of grease from me and my sister's hands.
That'd be cool though if mine turned pink, I like the color pink.

I haven't noticed anything like this happening in mine, but that's probably because I haven't used it since getting Metroid Prime 3.

These people are either A) frauders
B) Aliens
or C) I overlooked something.

Mine turn kind of brownish, too - I think it's grease and human cells, rotting. I wipe them with humid toilet paper or humid cloth. They go white again then. Else I use a bit weak soap.

It's genetics, my friends.
Nintendo chose the wrong plastic; it's effected by body oils.
Most people's will turn a yellow, brown, or greenish, but these people are obviously mutated and have pink.
(and a lot of it.)

My earphones turned pink, but not my Wiimote or Nunchuck.

Reminds me of the powder that appeared around N64 analog sticks that were overused.

Well, it DOES give us a reminder of how much Nintendo improved on the Analog Stick design, and the lack of powder that it would leave behind.
