Child Psychiatrist Calls for "Exercise Ratings" on Games

[SenseOfTumour]

I have an idea for a new invention 'the exercise book'

It's essentially an ebook reader with a camera, and comes with a set of weights. When you want to turn the page, you need to do 10 reps with the weights in front of the camera, then it'll move to the next page.

Beause READING IS EVIL AND MAKES OUR KIDS FAT!

Ahem... to be fair, there's even less movement involved in reading than in videogames, at least kids tend to lean a bit in racing games.

Also, wouldn't we need seperate male and female ratings for some games?

DOA Extreme Volleyball -

Female - no exercise
Male - repeated vigourous exercise.

I'm sure there's other examples out there.

See, this is not how you do it. Asking for standards for this is like disliking a cake because the icing isn't quite the right shade of blue. It's great when you do it, but when you put a ratings system in place, it's basically saying "hey, you're all worthless fatsos who'll never amount to anything, unlike me, so I'm going to put a system in place to tell you JUST how out of your league this game is!"
tl;dr: What an asshole.
