    hey guys i can't find the article as of now..( ill edit it in when i fidn it)
    but apparently wii makes you fat (says some guy who sounds like jake thompson but i doubt it) but it says that wii makes out fat by giving you yes.. WII-itious makes it's apprenace back, WIIitis make syou stay inside and not get any excerise, jsut wow..if you want to blame video games for overweight please don't blame the wii

    i didn't read the article but i can tell you that the only way the wii could make you fat is if you're tricking the system on the couch and eating massive amounts of junk food. otherwise the wii should make you skinny
    and didn't ben and arvin talk about some guy that thought up wii itis in one of their earlier podcasts

    i disagree with neder because its a video game system it suposed to stop you from exersieing so go for a jog or something

    And that's my two cents

    That is why they made Wii Fit. So people wont get fat through the wii. Also the some of the other games require people to get on thier feet to get the full experiance of a perticular game.

    They cant ban wii games. The public will probably go nuts if they do end up banning wii games. In some circumstances I would agree with the article, but in general the wii is making breakthroughs not only in the gaming world but also in the medical field.
