So it's official. According to the latest research, Wii will help your kid lose weight.
New research commissioned by Liverpool John Moores University has showed that kids who regularly play Wii games burn up more fat than those who sit on their lazy Cartman-size asses watching South Park all day.
Tim Cable, a researcher Professor at the university claims that regular use of Wii could help kids shift 12.25kg (27lb) a year. They used 12 kids aged 13 to 15 to conduct their research. While I'm not saying the result is bad, but isn't 12 a little too small a number to conduct a conclusive research? (yeah well, I know they didn't say anything about "conclusive", but still....).
The research came after a completely non-scientific experiment was conducted by a 25 years old Yankee, Mickey DeLorenzo, who lost 4kg (9lb) after a 6 weeks of Wii Sports. The guy didn't do anything different, except for 30 minutes of Wii Boxing everyday for 6 weeks.
This is definitely good news to kids everywhere. The next time your parents say, "No, games are bad for you", go get them a lecture on Professor Cable's research. And then demand them to give you a Wii. But of course, Wii is not something money can buy at the moment.
