Although we primarily discuss the serious health and medical issues of the day, we also think it’s important to share in a good laugh, especially when we’re examining the somewhat contradictory nature of our fitness/entertainment obsessed culture. The following video parody of “Wii Fitness” perfectly satirizes the aforementioned dichotomy in a very humorous way. By they way, the video game fitness craze did not begin yesterday, and I’m not talking about the Nintendo “Power Pad” either–does anyone remember “Foot Craze” by Atari? This game was designed to get lazy kids to exercise back in the 80’s. I think you’ll enjoy this video. Please comment on what aspect amused you the most. Talk to you soon.
