I'd laugh, but it makes me feel bad that there is a large portion of adults that actually believe this kind of thing to be true :fbm

This article is amazing. I almost spit my coffee on my iTouch after realizing the author was disputing the book without having read it.

I wonder what conclusion they'll come up with once they examine the intelligent Wii fanbase.

This explains why I suck so much at school and here I was thinking that it had something to do with me being a lazy bum.

Man, there is a difference between playing games, playing games non-stop, and still again VEGETATING in front of The Facebook and spamming your flist with presents in hope of reciprocation. Watching movies like Harry Potter prevents vocabulary loss that occurs if you game instead? What kind of Volvo-driving, "support PBS" sticker wielding, eco-bag toting LIBERAL HORSESHIT FUD is this? I hate it when those closer to my own political leanings cease thinking and tip over into the moral panic territory.

Having something else to blame means never having to blame yourself. :rock

shouldn't take long to examine the intelligent Wii owners.


Agreed, it doesn't take time to determine intelligence.

read the comments:

"Parenting people!!

American Immigrants raise hungry, hardworking children.

American's raise self-entitled, spoiled, ignorant, patriotic wimps. If we are going to fix our predicament, then we need to find a new way to raise our youth, preferably one that does not advocate Warcraft, and other super enlightening games. I have a 3 year old niece who has spent her last three years learning her alphabet on my sister's iphone!! Now the kid is all about any screen, what happened to coloring, oh, wait you can now color on the wii...........We are screwed, albeit for the immigrants of America, who at least for the first generation, will be ok and hardworking, then once they have their roots secured in America, the next few generations will for sure spawn the great collapse of the 21st.....entitled "american dreamers" Well people...The American Dream has been sold in the name of progress. We have seen what the first round of entitled brats (the 60's generation) has done to our country, and now we have round two coming!! Hold on tight!! "

Himu would you marry me so I can get a green card? I'll make sure to keep our children hungry and force them to work at the local bodega.
