"A new study has shown that the LoGD hit, Shinobi Legends, has now been linked to an increased precentage of child obesity. The creator of this internet phenomenon, who goes by the handle 'Neji', was questioned earlier today about his thoughts on this accusation. "I don't believe my game has anything to do with children stepping over that line from 'fat' to 'morbidly obese'. I sit here for hours a day programming new modules for the kiddies to enjoy and I'm still thin as a rail! If anything, I'd say the game gives you a headache." When asked why he thought that, a grin played upon his lips and he muttered something to the effect of, "I'm evil." This research is still in the beginning stages, but thousands of dollars are being invested into it as we speak. Stay tuned for any updates on this ever growing addiction that snare new kids everyday. Thank you, and good night."

Nice, Baluski. XD

It makes sense though that Mickey Dee's would want to point the finger somewhere else...I mean, look at them. >.> Heart Attacks to go...

But I do like the McFlurries. .___.

Interesting...McDonalds not to blame for Obesity.

If that's true, then I don't what's going to happen next to our world which has already been corrupted.

Addiction on foods that is bad for your health is the problem.

It's not so much that, it's that McDeaths is trying to pass the blame onto something else to get the camera off of them, which is pretty messed up in my opinion.

McDonalds Rep.: "Haven't you people heard yet? We sell salads, now! Salads!!! McDonalds promotes a healthy life style! Hey, look over there, there's a fat kid drinking a Poland Spring! Water is to blame for child obesity!"

True.

They forgot to mention the tons of other items which can harm you though =(.

Hmm...they say we have good foods, but they fail to mention how it's comparable to the, not so good foods.

Why did I figure that they would also shift the blame to video games? ~.~
I mean, considering that people have sued McDonalds for gaining weight, of course they would do that.
But really, my health teacher has a McDonalds hamburger and fries from 10 years ago and they look like he just went there and bought them... that's disgusting. : /

The 'Super Size Me' picture gave me a laugh, though. xD

Oh, and with thier salad dressing, the salad has more calories than a burger.
