@excel_excel: its just health insurance, so if your hand was still attached to that wiimote that when threw the tv they could help you fix that #wiisports
@roguemarvel: ah damn it....OH! OHHH!! What if, like because my Wiimote and TV broke I couldn't play Wii fit and I became a big fat blob meaning my health was in danger! #wiisports
@mangs: It wouldn't make sense if they showed fit people doing it. You need to show that it can be a workout for people who aren't so fit, otherwise it will just be seen as a toy.
Also, one reason people don't go to the gym is because of all the fit people that do. The gym isn't really a place an overweight person can feel comfortable. It feels like a place where extremely fit people go to meet up rather than a place to workout. #wiisports
@SacGamer: hmm. Good point. In the US (not sure where you're from), there's a gym called "Curves" that is basically a gym designed for overweight people, in essence giving them their own community. I don't think it did that well cause all of the ones I know of closed down. So at least here in the US, the issue is clearly more having to do with people either not interested in going or too lazy to go. Sad really. US culture definitely promotes being sedentary. #wiisports
@SacGamer: You're right. Gyms are mostly about skinny and buff people who go there to impress each other and flirt with other buff people and they make fun of the people who are trying to get fit. #wiisports
Who is Kaiser Permanente? He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German. Nobody believed he was real. Nobody ever saw him or knew anybody that ever worked directly for him, but to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Permanente. You never knew. That was his power. The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
@Slothboy: Darth Tigris: Do you believe in him, Slothboy?
Slothboy: Crecente always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Kaiser Permanente.

+Internetz to you sir.
And also, Kaiser Permanente would be an awesome name for a brazilian company... as Kaiser is a famous beer label and permanente... well, is permanent.
So, a permanent beer. #wiisports
