Wii FIT calls a 10 year old "FAT", Obesity experts condemn it.

[chouy]

lol I say this is good, Nintendo is telling the truth. If this Fat girl became upset over a videogame then.. wtf.. She wasn't born fat, it's her fault. Obesity Experts? hmm good thing they know this girl is fat so they can blame it all on nintendo for trying to help overweight people. Butt cracks > ,>

If I get a Wiifit, it will tell me to get off before I break it.

you got a little blubber flub yourself chouy. hahahaha


but seriously, even if she was 5' 9" and 100 pounds, and a complete stick, and somebody said she was fat, she would believe it. girls are too sensitive when it comes to there weight. it's just how it is .

for my height i'm just skinny.

for my age, i would be considered anorexic.

but i'm not very tall for my age. soo yeah.
i this is a problem for Nintendo. and it shouldn't say fat. especially since it doesn't measure it right. cause alot of people are very fit, and it probably would call them fat. so it should be fixed, but people are also get offended too easily.

Well, it uses the turm obbise...>_<

[dinkdude]

maybe its for kids to play it more. like a marketing campaign. instead of saying like "GAME OVER, UR HOPELESS" it shuld say "buy he new expansion, we'll teach u how to eat fat your own fat and turn uit into muscle!!!

[ArchWii]

i wanted to get wiifit. i think that nintendo really should have reworded it... but of course most japanese people are skinny...

[EaterOfDogs]

Actually, BMI is not a good indicator of health... someone with muscle who is very lean but solidly buffed will score "fat" due to the muscle weight versus height. Good old "ahnold" in his conan days, for example, would be labelled "fat" - but you call him out of shape?

lmao, if this game calls people fat im all up for buying it and introducing it to my parents...a kodak moment? when my mom steps on the scale and a video game calls her fat. YES! im terrible

I can't believe more people aren't talking about Wii fit here. It is selling out everywhere. It is going to be a huge seller..

I think that this whole thing is kind of ridiculous. Since BMI is kind of hit and miss with kids and more muscular people, people have to realize that they aren't overweight even if a game tells you otherwise. After all, it's just a game.
