fat princess causes fat kids

[BolognaBaloney]

And Splosion Man causes kids to asplode.

I don't see the problem with that.

 

[HaruHearts]

Do they have anythign better to do besides trash us?

 

[C0nn0r666]

OMG i am going to kill some ignorant people!

 

[Irridium]

I really don't understand how this game stirs up controversy.

Your not the one getting fat, the princess is. I really can't see the connection between feeding a princess and getting fat yourself.

I know I went and killed my 15 peasants today.

Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

 

[Lightnix]

I'm sorry, but is it my imagination, or is it the people of the multiple-chin brigade who are the ones complaining that it might have adverse affects on players (going by the testimonials, at least)?

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

*facepalm*
If that game makes your kid overeat, then they should check their own crappy parenting.

 

[Triscut900]

if it is offensive then dont play it

 

[Unreliable]

Makes sense...
And by makes sense I mean 'is that news lady retarded?'

 

[Legion]

Yet, if every princess was slim and conventionally pretty the game would be criticised by feminists for causing "unrealistic aspirations in children." You can't win really.

I...MUST...KILL...PEOPLE...WITH...A... GGLLLAAVVEEEE

*goes on a rampage killing everything in sight*

is that really going to happen, no, will it ever happen, no.

The only way a game can influence a kid is if their retarted, so no, it's not everyone who's bringing down sociaty, its the retarted people.

I'm surprised at the magnitude of the this story. I mean, children are susceptible to outside stimuli to a degree, but for being the sole reason for weight gain? Bah!

When I was like, 8 or something, I used to read Garfield. I loved those comics. I collected his oddly shaped books, and thought they were a hoot! As a result, I loved lasagna more than I should have at that age, and I understood early on that mondays suck. Should Garfield have been charged with laziness and weight gain in the 80's? According to this artical... yes!

 

[nolongerhere]

Surely the main danger here is men force feeding women to stop them being kidnapped?
Why is the media ignoring this? It will become a serious problem, mark my words.

 

[squid5580]

Even if (not that there is a snowflake's chance in hell) this was a possibility the effect wouldn't be known for years to come. It isn't like a kid will play this game and the next day become fat. Way to abuse the first amendment.

 

[Snotnarok]

Apparently none of you see the danger in a cartoon style game having a fat person, kids might want to aspire to be fat after this!

But seriously this is probably the slowest news day in history if they're attacking a game like that. C'mon why not Madworld, kids might think it's okay to put uncle Jeff in the wood chipper with a lampost in one eye and a ice cream cone in the other (for extra points of course).

 

[Jumplion]

I'm glad they actually showed some kids with their opinion instead of showing just the crazies, and they did say that they can't judge too much of it because it isn't out yet, and they pointed the finger mainly to the entierty of the entertainment industry instead of specifically the game industry (because we all know this industry has some effect on your psyche depending on what you consume from it).

It's a legitimate concern I suppose, but overblown on this little game. Just makes me that much more excited for it's release today!

 

[Aunel]

I haven't even heard of it until today. That game looks freaking hilarious, and them griping about it makes me want to play it. I can already see the jokes between friends about someone being the next fat princess. Sounds like a new way of playing CTF, though

same here, I think it is one of the most original ideas today, and the only game I might buy a PS3 for.

 

[sabotstarr]

*facepalm*

What? So kids (according to the rating) who are 13+, are gonna play Fat Princess, see a bunch of cartoon wizards force feeding an obese, fairytale woman cake and chicken, and immmediately think; "Hot damn, i want to eat 'till i'm fat."

Yep. You have to copy what happens in games, it's the law or something.

I know I went and killed my 15 peasants today.
[small]Oh look! It's the police, I wonder what they want.[/small]

ya you might want to wear gloves when you smash peasants faces in, otherwise they find your weapon on the murder weapon, and no one wants that.

I use to own a calendar titled "365 Stupidest Things Ever Said". Everyday the quote got stupider (Is stupider a word? It doesn't sound right). When the next year came, I got another one of those calendars and it just got even better. Some of the stupidest things I have ever hear were in this calendar, UNTIL NOW. A game with a fat character must make kids want to eat more, right? WRONG! 100% wrong. I understood the video game violence trend, but this?! No wonder why so many people think that America is the stupidest country, because we have stupid people representing us!

 

[Da_Schwartz]

It;s stories like this that make me wonder two things;

1- Are we really this stupid.

2-Is this some sort of publicity stunt.

 

[RanD00M]

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again:

Humanity is doomed.

Good thing that i am a vampire.

OT:Video games can cause some people to do stupid things.But for video games to affect into things like obeseity the person has to be rather mentally ill before.
