So only trashy parents let their kids play video games? Kids who play video games are stupid? My favorite part of this commercial is where they say "--AND THE INCREDIBLE GRAPHICS OF V-SMILE!" while focused in on what was possibly the most pixelated image of Aladdin I've ever seen in my life. Regular video games actually involve more critical thinking and and are more mentally engaging than these ridiculous "educational games." These are workbook exercises that are only good for young children struggling in school. I've spent thousands of hours playing video games throughout my young life, and I am currently making straight A's in college. I'm not saying video games are responsible for those grades, but I am trying to point out that they certainly did not detract from them. Parents, try looking up "Pheonix Wright: Attorney at Law" for the Nintendo DS. Players are engaged by the unique characters and great storyline, while exercising their minds with each case. Players must present relevant evidence, weigh risks in making decisions, and investigate crime scenes. V-smile would like you to think all "normal" video games involve "driving cars into walls," but that is simply a flat out lie. I found this commercial very offensive.
