Wii Could Be What the Doctor Ordered
crimeandpunishment writes "The American Heart Association and Nintendo are teaming up to promote Wii. The popular games can be branded with the AHA's logo, to indicate that they're considered a healthy choice. As part of the deal, Nintendo will donate $1.5 million to the AHA. The Heart Association is concerned about childhood obesity, and now concedes that its campaign for traditional forms of exercise just isn't getting through."
So will Nintendo come out with wii sex?
Fix school lunch programs at the same time. When the daily menu items are cookies, french fries, pizza, cheeseburgers, and chips it's no surprise that the kids are fat.
its plain old corruption in the guise of medically beneficial devices. plain and simple. in my opinion of course. niggers.
could give Lance Armstrong a DDR mat and copy of the game and after going through a little learning curve I almost guarantee he'd be getting a good workout with it.
I am sorry but I just don't believe that. For Lance Armstrong to get a good workout in a static environment he would need equipment of the same standard as a competition road bike, and fans to blow the heat away. If he is standing in front of a TV with no attempt to dispose of heat then he isn't working hard enough.
I just cycled to work. The air was at 4 degrees C and I arrived feeling hot. Anybody who rides fairly hard on the road would find it very uncomfortable to use any kind of static trainer. I don't know what a DDR mat is but I assume it is made of plastic, not steel or titanium. I don't believe Armstrong could put any amount of work into it without breaking it.

Why fucking bother with the goddamned fat fucks? Why not let natural selection take its course instead? Then tere will not be any fudgepacking, twinkie sucking, fat, fucktarded shitdot sheeple to post anymore?

At least for too many urban kids...all the gangbangers, bodies, destruction, and poverty on the wii screen ain't real and can be turned off with a flick of a switch. The kid who lives in inner city America who wants to go down to the park first has be willing to run the gauntlet to get there, and then has to be willing to go the limit to defend their patch of the park.
If we wanted to combat obesity, we'd work to make it safe for kids to go outside again. But not we Americans...apparently due to unhappiness with the deadly efficacy of the gangbangers we can grow ourselves, we let new ones flood over the border.
