They'll try and compare it to GTA if the they thought it'd sell papers.
Anyways, I thought we'd all agreed that BMI isn't the most accurate way of testing a person's obesity and/or the girl was just a fattie and her parents were in denial. (the stepfather did describe his daughter as "solidly built" which isn't much different than a parent saying "you're not fat - just big boned")
Instead of kicking up a fuss about it (a fuss which the media now knows about), the parents should have taken the girl to the doctor to get a professional BMI test and an assurance that she truly is healthy. And if she isn't, then they should adjust her diet and exercise. Y'know - act like parents!
It's yet another story about parents kicking up a fuss about video-games instead of looking at their parenting skills instead. Maybe their daughter is overweight - maybe they should get it checked out first, rather than bitching about it.
Either way, I'm pretty "meh" about the whole issue. Maybe if there is some controversy around the Wii Fit/Balance Board, Miyamoto might get stop making silly peripherals and just stick to making good games.
Stop trying to impress young kids' parents, and focus on your fans instead, Miyamoto! At least if you make another decent Mario game, parents won't have reasons to whine at you.
Oldest news in the world. Parents are dumb as hell now.
So they shouldn't worry what a game says, its just a stupid thing. Well The only problem i have with overweight people to Obese is they blame the fastfood restaurants that they're fat, rather than realizing they're the ones buying the food. Money doesn't buy its own food, these people try to scapegoat the issues rather than trying to stop eating there.
Its assholes like them that got rid of McDonalds super size menu...
They need to toughen up. And the media certainly isn't doing anything to help using words like "devastated" and "aghast". >_>
