Subway Guy Blames Nintendo For His Love Of Junkfood

dam.. this is even worse than the woman sueing nike because her shoe laces were too long making her to trip and have an injury, lool too funny

Except there's no legal action involved, or him insulting games or anything.

He's just explaining how he became so fat.

It's funny how after the whole Jack Thompson thing, so many gamers are insanely defensive and any mention of games even in the same sentence as something bad is instantly posted on message boards and "ridiculed".

He's trying to imply that video games lead to laziness and obesity, which isn't remotely true. Laziness is a choice of one's self. Obesity in most cases is a choice of one's self. To blame it on an exterior medium is to pass the buck.

That's quite funny really because I play on games half the day everyday & I'm not lazy & fat. So how would that work out? It's a person's own choice what food they plough into their own gob.

Don't play video games, while avoiding exercise,

Hence the reason I said to play the DS on an exercise machine. I play the Xbox sometimes when I exercised.

Yeah, not really sure what the big deal is. The guy's saying "I played Nintendo and sat around eating junk food all day, and that got me fat". News Flash: To most people, that WILL happen. Unless you've got a fast metabolism, fatty foods + no exercise = extra weight. It hardly seems to me like he's blaming Nintendo for making him overweight. Nowhere in that article does he say "Nintendo made me fat", and if it's implied in anyway, it's probably because of the way it's written. Heck, if he wasn't overweight, he probably wouldn't have gone on the "Subway Diet" and became famous.

If anyone has a link to the actual article 1UP's quoting him from, I'd like to read that.

And that has what to do with this?

That's true, he should probably thank Nintendo and his junk food habit for making him famous, and now he has, I'd say, a good amount of money haha

Video games got me skinny!
