Well...America seems to have done it again. They managed to find a way to be lazy while trying to fix our little weight problem. The Nintendo Wii workout games are designed to give Americans proper exercise. Nintendo has found the perfect formula. Give the people virtual exercise. The youth of America will most likely take this hook, line, and sinker. Not only have video games corrupted the minds of America's youth, it has brainwashed them into doing nothing but playing video games. Even when they aren't playing them, they are talking about them. Video games own the youth of America. This Solution is indeed perfect on Nintendo's part. People have been rotting in front of their tv screens ever since duck hunter and Mario. Why not give them something else to do while they rot? Because waving your arms around is getting plenty of exercise. I honestly don't understand why people can't go outside and get some real exercise. Why is it that we feel like it is better exercise if we are skiing down a hill. Guess what! You aren't even moving. Have people even thought about this concept? This is a Video game that helps make you fit? seems contradictory to me. "Wii Fit allows you to break a sweat in front of your TV." Does this sound right to you?

A much better post-- you seem to address the issue of whether a video game designed to promote exercise still promotes our dependence on video games in general, which results in more slothfulness overall.
