Whats funny is, while you suggest it is a jock point of view bringing the Wii down, a majority of gamers are out of shape slobs. They play Madden because their asthma would do them in if they actually went out and played football in the park.

If you know jocks, they practice so much that they wouldn't have time for videogames. In truth, the ones I know are more into their sports, cars, and girlfriends that they likely are used to playing Wii games with their GFs.

No, the people that are putting down the Wii are the nerds that always got picked on, the next Columbine kids. They generally have more friends on their online gaming service than they do in real life. These are the ones you should be adressing. Jocks spend their spare time watching ESPN highlights.

Actually it's more ex jocks that put down the Wii.  After they figure out that they can't play sports for a living, they become drunken, angry, and out of shape slobs.

Ahh, now I'm thinking like a Nintendo fanboy.

Fixed. Don't try that "only one kind of fanboy does something" crap.

Well, from what I've read on this forum, Nintendo fanboys do it the most often. But I suppose you're right. All fanboys are bad.

Just check out... any forum, and you'll see this. At least we have actual moderation. I used to hang out at the imdb boards.

Asma has nothing to do with these... im asmatic and hell im better at soccer than almost everyone i know, i might get tired faster but thats something you can overcome with practice >_>

I don't think I could be more ironic if I was trying to be. I want to congratulate you, but I think that would take away from the impact of this post.

To me, calling a lazy person asthmatic is like calling a dumb person retarded. You aren't merely insulting the people who really have these conditions, you're giving those without an excuse.
