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.
1) Your being a dumbass.
2) He is not trying to make a statement or make an excuse as to why he became fat. That is just what happened. He didn't say anything like "It was nintendo's fault". He was addicted and that was his fault and no one else's. He hardly tried to pass the buck.
3) That article is shoddy journalism and, like most journalism, is making something out of nothing to their target audience.
