are you kidding me???

So...exactly how lazy have Americans gotten? This lazy. Apparently, Nintendo Wii is now being hailed as an adequate means of physical activity. Hallelujah. This means I can stare at a TV screen for 35 minuets a day and still lose my goal of 10 pounds. This is way better than grapefruit and green tea. And this is definitly going to help moms everywhere with their "you need to get outside and do something" argument...what kid needs fresh air and sunshine when he/she has a controller and a comfy couch?
Ok, so I admit, Nintendo Wii does encourage more movement than your traditional Donkey Kong and Final Fantasy X. But to try and pass it off as an exercise? What ever happened to playing kickball at the park after school? Goodbye sweet days of summer with its tanned skin and freckled faces. Hello 'pasty' and early vision loss.
