New Gamepad Designed To Build Muscles?

Robmonster writes "The BBC are reporting a story about a product designed to address both exercise and videogaming in one fell swoop. According to the piece: 'A new type of gamepad from a US fitness equipment company aims to turn the couch potato gamer stereotype on its head. The Kilowatt controller by Powergrid Fitness is designed to build up muscle while playing a PlayStation 2, Xbox or PC game." The article explains: "In a racing game like Gran Turismo, the harder you push on the joystick, the faster a car goes, while pulling back slows down the vehicle."

Re:This is not flamebait

Come on. This isn't flamebait. From Cheney meeting secretly to determine national energy policy to Rumsfeld visiting Iraq to facilitate oil pipiline construction that's exactly what this administration is about. Even a Republican would heartily agree that the admnistration agenda is to promote the interests of the monied and the corporations and to eventually privatize everything. That's what supply side economics is all about (otherwise know as starving the beast).

The above comment is merely an observation.
