Quote The UK government's Department of Health has launched an incredible attack on the videogames industry with an advertisement linking the playing of videogames to an "early death".
The poster, also backed by charities including The British Heart Foundation, Cancer Research and Diabetes UK, shows an image of a child sitting on the floor holding a PlayStation controller in one hand, accompanied by the slogan: "Risk an early death, just do nothing."

its just another poor attempt at blaming an industry for obesity, they did similar things saying listening to Marylin Manson would turn you into a psycho path!
Kids wouldnt be in this position if responsible parenting like what CN has said is followed, yes i play alot of games, but i also go for long walks on weekends and make sure i get excercise when i can, any my kids when i have them will be no exception.
i am totally and utterly sick to death of this nanny state saying what we can and cant do and can and cant say (bah bah rainbow sheep anyone?) games are a recreational activity, which contrary to popular belief encourage social interaction, they should be regulated by parents (that includes the certifactes of games) and it includes the amount of time for playing games. the Xbox for example has a timer on it in th parental controls.
another example of this is my game guild - Order of the Rose Croix, regularly have real life meetings where beer and food are consumed during a weekend of camping but we also do things like play football and rugby for a laugh.
theres no wonder the government is a laughing stock....
edit: theres also the wii fit and wii in general, you cannot tell me you do not get excercise from playing that, try playing mario and sonic at the olympics....1 hour of that and your dying on your feet, or sweating buckets...
if only nintendo would actually keep up with the demand for the wii fit

the key point there is
Quote The company who was in charge of the ad, The Gate, did not seek permission from the gaming giant in order to utilize the obvious likeness of its controller
their grounds will probbaly be copyright infringement, as the controller design is trademark of Sony Inc.
To be honest the company who produced the ad the Gate should have known better - i work int he same industry so basically someone really dropped a bollock and thats soemones head as Sony would win if it went to court. however it will probbaly be an out of court settlement
