Perhaps that is what you got out of the ad, and that's fine. I don't think they were trying relate video games as being the boogeyman of lazy things to do. I think they are just relating with the times. Now a days kids do play alot more video games and what I got form the ad is, "Hey parents, get your kids involed and active to keep them healthy!" See, I was not offended by the ad, and I'm sure alot of other people were not offended. I also have a Wii, 360 and a PS3 and could stand to loose a few pounds, the ad still does not offend me. My point is what I already said, people need to lighten up and stop making mountains over mole hills. You do make a good point about the flak that video games get, and people need to lighten up on that to. It's a hobby, it fun, and for the most part not hurting anyone!
This will change in due time, many peeple don't get raises for years, I don't think they will die without a raise for a year or 2! Plus I'm sure many of the employees are overpaid anyway, they should be thankfull they still have jobs!
Honestly, I don't see what the problem is, they just used one example and it just so happened to be video games! Really, people seem to get offened over the most silly things!
