Wii Fit... What an ingenious idea. America's getting fat from playing video games? Let's make a video game to help them lose weight. Kudos, Nintendo. Instead of encouraging people to get out the house and soak up some vitamin H, people are working out to a video game. I think I'm going to blame the recession on that.
More importantly, I hate Wii Fit. I broke down and gave it a try, plugged in my numbers (height and age) and crushed the balance test. Then I took a peek at the character I made, and he was a balloon. Now, I am not going to lie Wii Fit, I'm not in superb shape but by no means am I portly. Apparently Wii Fit does not agree with that statement because my character resembles Jared before he walked to Subway.
Besides that, all your ads only show thin people working out, last I checked the gamer demographic was a little on the heavy set side. Perhaps that should be taken into consideration prior to the marketing stage.

If your so smart Wii Fit, why the hell can't you separate muscle weight from fat weight? And what gives with the balance test? So what, I have weak ankles from multiple sprains, what of it?
It is no reason to make my character a fat ass. Am I supposed to see that character and want to make it thin? Because I don't. If anything I want to take my Wii and chuck it through a window.
And to think little kids see the same thing. What if a somewhat self-conscious child steps on your little hover board and sees his/her character swell up? How good does he/she feel? Probably like a bag of dicks, which sounds horrible and true. Is that what the Wii is trying to accomplish? turning slightly out of shape people into bags of dicks? I do not know, and I sure as hell am no longer finding out. Thanks for nothing Wii Fit.
