Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians, parents–people in power–will have all you gamers believe that video games at a young age leads to obesity. Some of these same people will go further and say that watching Television also causes obesity, and that both cause behavioral issues. I’m here to finally place the blame where blame should really be placed. There is no doubt that the majority of video games are not helping gamers get in shape. Although the Wii with Wii Fit is a step in the right direction on that front. However, I do believe that it is not up to a company that sells a product to force feed its members healthy alternatives.
Where does the problem lay? It’s the parents fault which evolves into the teenagers fault when he/she has the ability to decide things for themselves. You can give me thousands of studies showing me that sitting on a couch playing video games causes obesity (because it will), and I’ll show you a thousand different reasons that good (well lets change that to certain) parents raise thin kids. (I’m not really going to show a thousand different ones because I made that number up.)

Straight from the “Too Good to be True” files, comes a tale of star-crossed love, jealously, and hilarity. The popular game Second Life, which allows real life people to portray alter-egos and pretend to be something they cannot, has made the news for all the wrong reasons. The hot piece of ass known as Kimberly Jernigan, 55, tried to kidnap her ex-boyfriend, of Second Life. The two met in real life recently and the man was no longer interested in her. Likely because she looks like the female equivalent of Chunk from Goonies. Anyway, this is where the lady goes bat shit.
Kimberly allegedly drove to her ex-boyfriend’s Pennsylvania workplace and attempted to kidnap the man at gunpoint. Apparently she couldn’t even manage that successfully, and had to come back two weeks later and track him down to his Delaware home, posing as a postal worker to find his address. After cutting and removing a screened window to gain entry to the man’s house, she lay in wait for him with a set of handcuffs, a roll of duct tape, a taser, a BB gun and her dog Gogi.
Her foolproof scheme failed after the man simply ran away, having entered to find a laser beam pointed at his chest. Kimberley had fled soon after, but her dog was discovered bound in duct tape and abandoned in the bathroom to stop him making noise. She was found an hour later in Maryland and taken into custody after a “brief struggle” at a rest stop.
I went to school in Delaware and know exactly where this happened. I can’t knock the idea of Second Life. People sometimes want to be something else besides themselves. There is nothing wrong with innocent imagination, but when some lady attempts to kidnap someone because she probably did not look like what she said she did gives the whole premise a feel of violation and insecurity. I hope to God the cops tased her. She now gets to spend close to the rest of her First Life in a comfy women’s prison.

Hey folks. Do you like Tamagotchi? No? Well then I hope your not some fat kid in Mexico! Because you’re screwed!
It may be hard to believe. But there is actually a country on this planet that drinks more soda and live more unhealthily than the U.S. - Mexico! And now that you know this it isn’t nearly as hard to believe that Mexico is one of the fattest nations on Earth!
Ahh, but the Pepsi Co. has a super idea - or what they call a ‘idea estupenda’ - Video games!! Wheee!
