The Sun’s Dr Keith has hit out at games such as “virtual tennis” for stopping men exercising by filling their leisure time with “clicking on consoles with eyes glued to a screen.”

“The only bits of anatomy many young men exercise are their fingers and wrists,” he said. “No sniggering at the back, please, I’m talking about computer games.

“All those leisure hours we used to fill with climbing trees or kicking balls have gone. Because we’re all too busy clicking on consoles with eyes glued to a screen.

“I recently caught my teenage kids playing virtual tennis.

There’s a tennis court down the road. But instead of getting fresh air, they were wearing out our carpet, their thumb joints and my patience.”

He has a point. Get off you ass and feel the burn, maggot farmer. More through the link.

Thats it time to get me wii fit.

Reading the Sun does not make you burn calories either

Unless it's page 3.

Actually it's my bone idle laziness that stops me exercising, games just stop me from being bored while loafing.

What a brilliant observation, and clearly deeply researched to find the real root of the problem. Oh, this just in: it turns out guns kill people after all, it's not the person holding the gun's fault at all! And water is solely responsible for every drowning ever, with no blame to be put on human ineptness, too! We can officially remove all responsibility from the individual for their actions as long as there was an object, passive force of nature, or other person within 500 yards of them at the time of a given incident. Glad they cleared that one up. Let's go bulldoze a forest and blame it on the trees!

I think I just blew up the Sarcasm Detector. Again.

Also, I though the sun was for lesbians and that real men read the daily sport?

with games Like Mario Kart, you won't exercise for quite some time o_O

Even though it's the Sun, it is true, and hopefully this will open peoples eyes to their expanding waistlines. Sorry if your offended but it's true.

The Sun can suck my balls. What a shit paper.

'we have shit reporters, our stories are crap....but we have a naked woman on page 3! yeah baby!'

The Daily Star is worse.
