    My favorite part of Wii Fit is when I finish the Body Test and it yells "OBESE" in its squeaky little voice and my Mii expands to super-size and starts panting.

    I have weighed on the balance board carrying my German Shepherd in my arms just to make this happen.

    Actually, Dance Dance Revolution is a strenuous workout compared to Wii Fit.

    But we should really be following the example of this middle-school teacher, who's toughening up his kids to the extreme with a round of P90X.

    Perhaps we could develop special keyboards that let us turn up the resistance like on the stairmasters and stationary bike. Calories are calories.

    I'm just waiting for the robotic arms and hands that come out of the ceiling to roll you over in bed and massage your limbs so you don't A) suffocate B) Drown in your own saliva C) have such muscle atrophy that you can't lift your head and bones made of saltwater taffy as to either break, or melt, upon touching the floor to uh, walk.

    Yeah, the future sounds fun.

    My real problem with the game isn't hte gay sex, but that the hetero sex option involves a secretly evil woman who wants to have your baby in order to turn it into some sort of dark god. That's some fucked up shit there.

    Where was their panic when the Left Behind video game came out? Where they got to kill homosexuals or convert them, in NYC, no less? Much as I suspected. Each side gets its porn, kids...
