NEWS: Weight loss revolution?

......like square dancing.

Dude...don't think for a second that I didn't have to look up "star thru".

Depends on how far they attempt to ramp it up. If they really commit to DDR as a full-on sport, they could take it to the battle-level. Have teams do it relay-style. Basically treat it as seriously as football or wrestling. And we know there's nothing gay about those sports.

I wonder if they have the sound turned all the way up on the machine so that the whole school gets to hear the awful awful music. Or do they just hear the thud thud thud of the kids on the machine?

In some ways I can see it as a positive to introduce DDR into the curriculum, but I can also see a downside to it. It seems that most children become overweight due to spending too much time playing video games. This could be a way to reach those children. By the same token however, it also reinforces playing video games.

End the discussion right there lol.

I got my parents hooked on DDR.

I was in a gym class with far more guys than girls. Guess who had to dance with other guys during the dance units. Do you know how much shit I took from people for that?

I hope some football player slips on the pad and hits his head.

Bah. Gym class...

I'd kinda like to dance with you.

Actually, as a result of the constant abuse I declared myself "sick" for most of the unit. Therefore, I never learned how to dance properly. I look like a retarded monkey.

So you do, so you do...

I wonder how many books will be sacrificed to pay for all those machines, while Konami get all that free publicity and a chance to advertise their video games, meaning children are even less likely to read? $500,000 can pay for a fair few copies of To Kill A Mockingbird.

What the fuck happened to normal excercise? This decision is absolutely moronic, on so many levels.

I just don't think that excersize is a shool's area. Education is. You can be 300 pounds and a geninus and there is nothing wrong with that int eh real world! Int eh real word people either have looks, brains or talent, rarley two or three. Expersize is a person's own responcibility (at least after grade school) when we are old enough to take care of our own bodies and all that. Schools are supposed to TEACH us.
