Fat AND violent!

Some researchers in Sweden claim that they've proved that video games do INDEED make kids "fat and violent." Ahhh, yes, another pseudo-scientific study paid for by taxpayers (even though these would be Swedish taxpayers, who already pay a boatload of taxes, so they probably don't care anyway). Why'd they waste their time, (and Sweden's money) when they could have just asked the U.S's own cultural authority extraordinaire, Joe Lieberman?


McDonald's is on the case though. Well the fat part anyway. They're phasing out the "Super Size" portions at all their restaurants this year. Which begs the question, what happens when kids get violent because their supersized portions are taken away?
