Re:It's not all bad

Think parents of teenagers who are being badgered to get their little cherubs cells phones and iPods.

Yeah, they can badger all they want. They're not getting any of those from me unless they put down the game controller and get a part time job. Not surprisingly, they shut up for a little while and keep playing their games. The target market is the teenagers' grandparents. They are the ones that buy all the crap for the little ingrates in the first place. You'd be surprised how much of the X-Box/PS2 market is financed by bingo winnings.
