Fat Kids Get Free Consoles

The only hard part will be finding 85 fat American kids.

All the ones I see on TV (which is just like real life) are slim and fit.

I think this research will be foiled before it begins.

I think this is a great move in order to get kids off their fat arses. As some of you may know I've raised the DDR exercise topic before so this is good to see someone out there listening. DDR popularity has been making headlines in the u.s for some time now so this is a good progression of that positive u.s media coverage.

Next step I think would be to have a DDR machine in every junior/ high school across the country. Get them to work off those McDs at school and then they will go home and have a go too. More great press for Konami.

Konami could also have a try here in the u.k now that the trash chool food business is being sorted out.

Perhaps all fast food outlets should also invest in these DDR machines too. The more kids see them the more they will play them.

Totally. I've SEEN 'The OC'!!

The trouble is some of the kids will probably give up on it after a few minutes, and even if they do stick with it, they'll probably go to mcdonalds afterwards and put the weight they lost back on, lol

Aha, that's where the school DDR are machines would come in to encourage them to try at home and not just at school. Competing with friends will drive them to do more and by getting them to do this extra they benefit in the long run. Sure some will opt to play other PS2 games but perhaps there should be conditions attached to the PS2 freebee, like you have to use this DDR mat and game at least five days a week for an thirty mins to an hour. Failure to keep up with use could result in your PS2 being given to someone more worthy of it.

That would help a lot if parents could enforce it properly.

What I'd like to see in the future in a DDR gym perhaps for kids. This would be like an arcade but friendlier where kids would be encouraged to take up other activities too. A place where they can go to get them away from sitting in Pizza Hut and McDs.

But by taking the kids ps2 away presents another problem,say the kid tried his best at the DDR games but failed to keep up with the proposed deadlines and ended up having the ps2 taken away, this could potentialy lower the kids morale and dicourage the kid from participating.



Just by having a glorified gym does'nt necesselery mean they're automaticaly going to stop going to places such as burger king or pizza hut, the kids diet would play an important role in this too.

Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off for a big mac and chips.

Always in "Macky D's", eh? Is that how you got your name?

(in response to kid_77:)
m,a and c is are initials (it just so happens when you put then together they spell half the name of the popular fast food frachise), all I did was put my initials together and viola Mac was born.

Unlucky.

I just hope these kids live in houses with concrete floors.

Dance mats, fat people and suspended wooden floors are a roadmap to a ruin house.

what ever happened to a bit of exercise, has it become so bad that yu have to now excercise in front of the TV. why would we want to go outside, thats where the sun is.

and if a kid is that large, and too embarrased as such and cant keep up with the 30 minz a day, then have it taken away from him. what konami doing is great, but its up to the children to pave their own path of life. if they want to die at age 52 in front of the PS23, then thats their issue, quite frankly i cant stand more than 2 hours in front of the tv...

I have nothing to say on this, i'm just posting, LOL

Vitamin D is bad for your screen tan.

Outside? You mean the big, blue room?

Or Big grey, snowing room if you're in Yorkshire at this moment.
