Eh, they're been playing those for months up in the good ol' north. They pretty much attack everything if you look at all of the commercials. I wouldn't stress out about this too much, just the generic "if kids aren't getting excersize they'll DIE" complete with stereotypes.

I can at least kinda somewhat understand the first part about an unhealthy heart, that's at least related to poor lifestyle and inactivity........but where the hell does your colon come into play??

News flash: engaging in any activity that basically involves sitting on your ass and never excersizing has adverse effects on your health. This isn't rocket science, and it's also not any reason to point fingers specifically at video games, as the same can be said of watching too much TV, movies, or listening to music.

Now that I watched the video, that was incredibly stupid.

Reminds me of some excersize commercial I saw a while back with a fat kid playing a game and he beats it and jumps up to dance a celebrate and about 10 seconds in he has to stop to catch his breath.

Great times.

I didn't think it was a big deal...I think they just used video games to "be hip".  I didn't take it as an attack per se.  As others have said, the basic message is probably true, that its better to encourage physical activity in children, as health problems can result somewhere on down the line.

Really its not that hard to get off your ass and exercise... although i do have a job that pays 240 a week for 20 hrs a week.

I now have brain cancer from watching this video.

Old people are awsome compared to the young idiots of today so I most certaily hope video games have that some sort of mystical power to age people.

 

Also its a stupid video. 

Video games really have nothing to do with it, they're just something to do. What it comes down to is how lazy you are, that's it. If someone wants to go out and do something, then they will do it whether they play video games or not.

Besides, why isn't the finger being pointed at anything else? What about TV? Hell, what about someone who sits around all day reading? Yes, even reading can be blamed. No matter what it is, if you sit on your ass all day you're not going to be all that well down the road. Blaming just video games is nonsense.

I really hate ads like that, that advert was so condecending "I had to rescue my 13th damsel"?! If they can't get their info about games to a level above that of the 1980s then how can we trust any of that crap to be true? besides which, I do plenty of exercise

You kids and you Halos and you're Bioshocks. Back in my day we played pong, with one paddle, and no ball, and there was no keeping score, we just moved that paddle up and down and we were *damn happy* to be doing it!

Well, that commercial didn't seem to be THAT bad IMO. I mean the whole message is pretty much promoting active kids, the whole game thing was more of a sideline factor.

Thats my take on it.

I was all ready with some vitriolic bile but the ad is kinda funny, its only attacking inactivity after all.

It's funny how many comments here don't follow simple math ;

Play video game all day = Sit around all day = No excercise = Health problems.

My teenage years would've been healthier if I moved around more and played less Starcraft, haha!

And also ; age = relevant to inevitable health issues.

I'm all for freedom of ttnet vitamin speech and allowing rent a car game makers to put whatever they want in games, but there's one thing about this app that has me scratching my head.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but from araç kiralama the previous article araba kiralama on this I gathered that players can use Google maps in-game to find the other (real-life?) dealers in their area.  If this is the case, has travesti anyone considered what's stopping someone from using this app to actually move drugs between hands for reals?

But majority araba kiralama of their outrage araç kiralama stems from what it could DO TO children, not the content itself.  Talk to one of these people and you'll find they don't think any books kiralık araba should be banned from children.  Mention American Psycho and they talk about kiralık araç the redeeming value of using imagination to construct a story.  Reading, no matter what the content, is largely viewed as a consequenceless activity for people of any age.  The reason why I mention American Psycho is because of the content itself.  Gaming never has and likely never will have any scenes where someone has sex with a severed head.  Not gonna happen.  Yet despite this, they'll fight tooth and nail to protect their children from two boys kissing in Bully but whatever they read is harmless... yeah.

The entire arguement is kiralık oto based upon a social normality inflicted by luddites who can't figure out the controls for Halo so it's frightening and terrifying and obviously the cause of youth violence on the rise even though, in reality, it's in decline (which is actually a HUGE suprise given minibüs kiralama the economies status).  In  a perfect world, we would have parents that actually parent.  The idea of sales restrictions on media on oto kiralama any form to accomidate parental unwillingness to get involved with their child's life is the real problem to me.  Here I am, 32 years old, and being held up at a self-scan rent a car needing to show ID before I can buy a $10 M rated game all because Soccer Momthra can't be bothered to look at the crap Billy Genericallystupidson does in his free time.  It's too hard for her, so I have to suffer?
