The PS3 causes childhood obesity?! We got to stop it NOW!!! I mean it has been out for a little over a week and it has already caused this, we got to stop it before it starts killing people! At this rate, you should hear PS3s killing children in mass by Christmas!

It's more hype. Sure, lazy kids that get obsessed get obese from eating and playing too much.

Well Anna and Wayde, perhaps there is common ground to be found in the fact we all agree on everything in moderation - neither video games nor computer-hunching will cause you (or your kids) to become obese, nor will hitting the mall prevent it. And each of those are enjoyable in small doses, it's the extremes that really cause the problems.

I'm totally obsessed with Dance Dance Revolution! This game totally rocks and it's a killer workout. I used to be really addicted to Pong, but I got really tired of watching the ball go back and forth. About all I got from that was a neck cramp. So I walked into an arcade one day, and there it was my DDR salvation. I used to be really soft and jiggly, but now I DDR at home, I DDR with friends, and I DDR to my favorite tunes. Take it from a DDR freak Anna, you've never had a workout as hard as this!
I'll take you on anytime honey! Let's just see what kind of personal trainer you really are!
