i swear, i am so sick of the propaganda that we get here in australia, saying video games are bad.
now its that they put you in hospital.
read about it here

"The popular gaming console — likely to be found under many Christmas trees this year — is sending people to hospitals"

what a load of BS! what they fail to mention is the fact that those injuries are the same ones anyone would get without proper warm-up before exercise, from out of shape ppl doing exercise their not used to, or even from a game of basketball or tennis.

i couldnt find anywhere on the news site to post this so im sharing here.
who wants to bet the reason i cant comment about how wrong this is is because the government and media is trying to say how evil games are. again.

EDIT: now that i think about it maybe this should be in debate and logic discussion?

Wii's are owning in sales and they are unstoppable. Either Microsoft, Sony, or the biased media is trying to mislead and direct consumers into Sony's or Microsoft's way.

"It's possible Wii-itis may lead to rheumatism or arthritis later in life," Dr Dev Mukerjee of Broomfield Hospital in Essex was quoted as saying.

I can't help but laugh at that quote, this is obviously a Microsoft smear campaign and they are doing a horrible job at it. I hate you microsoft and I hope Nintendo, Sega and Mac bury you in your BS lies and scams.

well technically the doctor didn't say anything wrong. It IS -possible- that it MAY lead to some diseases later in life. Well I could also get those diseases by running, or actually playing sports. I don't see why the article was neccesary in the first place really. Does sound like a smear campaign to me as well. Although if it is they need to hire new PR people. I could smear better than this.

Another obvious reason why this is a smear is the date. They posted it today, Christmas Eve, now why would they do that when they had tons of time to cook this story up months ago... because they want more sales.

This is typical Fox News propaganda.

wtf does Fox News have to do with this?

And how is Christmas Eve a good day to break this story? It would have been smarter to do it a month ago at the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.

*Sniff* Smells like a load of Bull.
This is the same as the chick who reported Harry Potter for "Promoting Witchcraft" and had it banned in some schools. It's a BOOK, not a RELIGION!
Yeaaaah... No.
Come hither young squire, and listen to my hymns of old.

Life. Filled with treacherous roads, and dangerous paths. Treachery, lies, lust, greed, and malice. Simply living is misery enough for all eternity. No one knows when it will end, or if it ends at all. Do not worry, for I am your savior. I am your Messiah. I. Am. Death.



Please help my Dragons hatch, just simply click on each of the eggs once a day (if you can) and I will be forever grateful.

On the topic of Angels, I doubt that was an actual Angel. I mean, supernatural stuff may or may not exist, but come on. A Two-Headed Angel? Yeah right. Looks more like a glare or a light reflection off of a shiny floor.
Psh.

silence non-believers!

That was OBVIOUSLY an angel. I'm not sure why the rest of you can't just accept the explanation of the super qualified journalist to tell what you are looking at. If they say it's an angel it must be one and we should bow down and be thankful for this wonderful manifestation of gods power!

Hmmm... sometimes I think I go a little overboard. Sometimes

I believe in the paranormal but this looks like a joke. The door on the right is facing forward, the one on the left is facing back and to the left, and in the room to the left (if there is one) a very bright light which glares through the door window explaining the rectangle like "angels" seen in that photograph.
