Wii: Now AHA-Approved - For A Price

Which one's approved by the American Heart Association:
Bicycles?
No.
Running shoes?
No.
Treadmills?
No.

Fried rice?
Yep. (Courtesy of the California Walnut Commission).
Nintendo's Wii? Yep. (Courtesy of another $1.5 million promotional fee).
While I'm all for a healthy lifestyle, we should really ask ourselves if we're sending the right message. But then again, I guess it's okay to get money from our Heart Association logos as long as the money's not from a pharmaceutical company.

    $$ have effect on everyone whether we like it or not. I wish they could find something more sensible and professional to promote themselves though.
