The HSC Foundation launched a Childhood Obesity Awareness Campaign that blames videogames for the lack of exercise and bad diets with kids all over the world. They’re using posters titled ‘Killer Sofa‘ with a fat kid sitting in a comfy sofa with crisps, soda and an Xbox 360 controller.
The guys who worked on this campaign didn’t do their homework and didn’t even do research on healthy [tag]Wii[/tag] games such as Wii Sports and the upcoming [tag]Wii Fit[/tag]. The times that gaming is an unhealthy hobby are gone, since the Wii is available gaming has become a healthy, social and fun way of losing weight and exercising.
Instead of blaming videogames for childhood obesity they should be promoting healthy videogames like [tag]Wii Sports[/tag] and Wii Fit with the [tag]Wii Balance Board[/tag]. They just want to shock us all with a fat kid lying in a coach representing the stereotype of the gamingfan.
