Obama goes with Just Dance 3 over Dance Central, shames a nation

by Alexander Sliwinski on Dec 22nd 2011 10:50AM

Socialist US President Barack Obama was caught purchasing French-developed Just Dance 3 for the Japanese-designed Nintendo Wii console this past week. Thankfully, the desperate last-minute shopping trip to a local Best Buy for his daughters, Malia and Sasha, kept him away from putting more Americans out of work.

"In case you all are wondering, Just Dance for the Wii," Obama said, having a member of the proletariat hold up the game. "The girls beat me every time on these various dance games. And you'll never get a picture of me [playing] because I get graded F every time."

Clearly an agent of foreign leaders, Mr. Obama could have chosen the Boston-developed Dance Central 2 for the Seattle-designed Xbox 360. But no. Shame on you, sir. Shame on you! As if we needed our political leaders supporting Just Dance's continued foreign profits.

When I heard this story on the radio yesterday, the first thing I thought of was man, it must suck as a kid being stuck in the white house with no junk food and Wii

@Friv0lous

My first thought was, wouldn't it suck to find out on the news what you were getting for Christmas vs. the surprise of opening it up.

I'm sure they have other things going on, but these dance games do fit their mothers push for more active children.

I lost 30 pounds a few years ago with a combination of DDR and eating more thoughtfully. DDR...it's better than nothing.

@laggerific I pretty much was thinking the same thing about ruining the kid's Christmas morning surprises. Oh well, maybe they could follow it up by playing the scene in Gremlins where Phoebe Cates starts talking about her dad's demise in Kindergarten classes across the nation.

@laggerific

That last line would be a perfect slogan for DDR!

@Friv0lous
Oh yeah it must suck....
living in Africa and starving to death every single day.
Oh never mind we're talking about America carry on.

@simplicity14 Whoa. You sound like you actually do care about Africa and provide help everyday.

@simplicity14 How can you starve to death every single day? Is Africa holding back a resurrection tool of some kind to torture people? TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!!?!?!?!?!

The disclaimer should be in bold font. Read it before this turms into a another political flame war.

@Mrblonde57 Seconded. I didn't even notice it was there. 'Course I wasn't offended, just moved my eyes to the comments too fast to notice it. Ideally everyone should be able to realize this is joking, but we all know that won't be the case.

@Mrblonde57 Think of this as one of those reading comprehension tests you did in grade school. If someone makes an asshole/moronic comment, we know that they don't read shit and can forever disregard anything they have to say on any news post.

@Mrblonde57

And really anyone who just slams on this is nothing but a damn troll.

@Mrblonde57

the fact this needs a disclaimer is a sad indictment of the joystiq reader.

Disclaimer or no disclaimer it's still depressingly accurate. Even our president shops at bloated retail stores for foreign products to promote the commercialization of a religious practice.

Disclaimer: Go drink some booze and forget about it! Woo!

@Ellimem

Hey, found one already!

Also, posts like this really illustrate the need for a separate, universally recognized "sarcasm" font here on ye olde internet.

@arkweld
Well, to be fair, it's harder than you'd think to identify political satire, particularly involving fundamentalism. Poe's Law and all that - without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing.

@Ellimem

Oh Mah Gawd!
Joystiq is now run by the red painted Fox News!!!!!

@Mrblonde57
Hulk mad! Smash!!!!

@arkweld
No, the fact that this article needs a disclaimer isn't a sad commentary on Joystiq readers. Politics will forever remain a controversial and heated topic, so political debate is expect in a politically-charged article. The bottom line is that this article's sole purpose is to incite a flame war, which is really immature. Alexander Sliwinski is laughing at all of you. It probably involves a bet and a couple of $20 bills in the Joystiq corporate towers.

@Fermie Prime
Yes, making a joke that is politically fueled is very much an invitation to talk politics (serious or jokingly), but I think that's a pretty cynical perspective. I'm guessing you're more or less of the perspective that he was satirizing.

@Mrblonde57

this does not have to be a political flame ware

*zips up flame suit*

RON PAUL 2012!!!

@Mrblonde57
You mean anyone that doesnt agree with you is a damn troll, right?
This guy Obama is a total loser. Next Nov will show that.

Just epic. Even the proles should be amused.

Is it wrong that I read out the text in the voice of Bill O'Reilly? (As someone from outside the US he is the biggest and best example of everything that is wrong with the right-wing portion of US media).

@Halgrimur No, that sounds about right. I'm glad you guys dislike him as much as any right minded American would

@Prakras TCys Why would someone dislike him? Because of his position in politics(if you even really know what they are)? Now that's really whats wrong with America.

@YourMomsLover
It's not his position, it's his inability to listen to the other side of politics. I disagree with a lot of the right side but I respect their opinion. Bill doesn't give a damn what the left thinks.
