This has almost nothing to do with this website, except for the video game's connection with the new movie Grandma's Boy. However, I found it hilarious, and should serve as a holdover while I'm stuck here at work and can't update.
(Excuse the All Caps -- CNN likes to scream in their wire releases.)
From CNN:
IN AN EFFORT TO BATTLE OBESITY IN CHILDREN, WEST VIRGINIA IS EXPANDING A PROJECT THAT USES THE GAME "DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION." IT'S A VIDEO GAME WHERE PLAYERS FOLLOW THE LIGHTS WITH THEIR FEET TO SIMULATE DANCE MOVES.
WEST VIRGINIA IS PROVIDING THE GAME TO ALL OF ITS MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HOPES TO PUT THE GAME IN THE MORE THAN 750 PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITHIN THREE YEARS.
WEST VIRGINIA CONSISTENTLY RANKS AMONG THE TOP THREE STATES FOR OBESITY.
