CNN is all over the Wii Fit thing. First, they had Mario Armstrong come in and demo the package for them, now Dr. Sanjay Gupta is taking time out to discuss the benefits of using games as a health tool, namely in the rehabilitation sector. We've heard stories about places using Wii to help rehabilitate their patients, but it's now gaining more ground, as Dr. Gupta mentions the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is funding 12 different studies that will specifically see if games can be used as a means for making us healthier individuals.
If all the serious medical talk bores you, then laugh at the CNN employees doing the hula hoop minigame while one the Balance Board. They really get into it.

While news reports on Wii Fit are nice, there should be more reports based on Tetris Attack.

An interesting clip but what's with the random DDR footage at the end. Did they run out of ways to show off the sweetness of the Wii? Yeah I know the focus was on exercise but still....

I'm sure your mother will allow you to swear, just this once. Or are you so dense; unable to come up with a clever retort, that you must revert linguistic savagery. You're a clown, Erik. Stop spamming with your fraudulent promotions. If you can't afford a Wii go get a second job.

I really think the news should keep their noses out of the gaming industry. They just have no idea, and there are more things to be concerned about.

When I click the link the address bar clearly shows me reference number, that shows me you're trying to profit off this convoluted operation. If those are your intentions then declare it, but don't pretend you're just a messenger: you're clearly a profiteer, a virus, a spammer, a non-entity, a liar; yes, you're a liar. What a disappointment you are, Erik. Your mother did not raise you well at all. Look at the vulgar language used, look how Erik articulates himself. What a peasant you are. Just go away.

You really need to get a life and get over the fact that no one wants to deal with your website.
Stop trying to act all tough by swearing and insulting other people as it just makes you look like a total idiot.
And while you're at it, try to learn English because I have no idea what the hell you were just trying to say.

Erik, you're embarrassing yourself and your mother.
