Should Wii Fit be re-rated?

by damnboyadvance

Well, after checking my mail on Yahoo, I logged off and looked at some news on the front page, and I noticed another story about some child who played Wii Fit and learned he/she were, and I quote so I don't get angry emails, "obese." Then I thought about it, and not to be rude, but I think these people are idiots for getting all worked up about it. I mean, it's not Weight Watchers or something....

Then I thought about it, and not to be rude, but I think these people are idiots for getting all worked up about it. I mean, it's not Weight Watchers or something. It's a cheap ass piece of shit. It's not like Nintendo is trying to launch its OFFICIAL WII FITNESS PROGRAM. No, no, no no no. What it all comes

Shut up you stupid bitch or I'll sue your ass! down to is this, and I will explain it.

A developer who's last name is Miyamoto makes some of his games for the Wii based on his daily activities. Obviously, fitness was one of them, so he created a fitness game to go along with a peripheral called the Wii Balance Board. Now, he's a game designer, not a fitness expert. So do you really think it's going to be a first-class weight loss program. If you do, then you might as well eat a bunch of cookie dough and popcorn while you play, because you are so damn wrong.

In other words, it's not a fitness program. It's a game. Plus Nintendo has made it perfectly clear that it's not exactly accurate on children, so why are people still getting worked up about it? That's like me eating something I've been told tastes disgusting, but I eat it anyways, but then I get so pissed because it tastes disgusting. I mean I knew that, but I'm still pissed. In the worst metaphor ever done, that's what's going on.

So I propose this. And listen up here, because this is so genius. We re-rate the game. Yeah, consider it. Right now, little kids above the age of 6 can play, but since it's  not accurate on them and tells them that they're obese, it's viewed offensive, so we should just re-rate the game T for Teen. How does that sound?
