This is just another thing designed to make money off children, like Disney, tabacco, sugar, tamacco, music industry and the all the other things. TO blame all the ills on just one of many is short sighted......oh and lets not forget about THE PARENTS.

Very good point, perhaps i was a little short sighted, I was trying to suggest that Video gaming among children is a major contributor to this problem, but I should have mentioned the other factors.
And Yes, the biggest problem is the parents. Commonly, parents are relying on TV and Video games to babysit the children.
Interesting you mention that Tobacco is aimed to make money off of children. I'm not sure if that is the #1 marketing goal of tobacco products, but i have noticed a few too many kids around the age of 10-14 smoking in my community
