Since when is a 10-year-old considered a teenager?
And - she's not fat (BMI about 17-18).

We reckon this could make a good story line in an upcoming episode of Hollyoaks. 'Good' by Hollyoaks' standard anyway...

But yeah Nintendo are no doubt going to get alot of complaints flooding in over such things.

Sorry, but what is 6 stone?

**eneles** · 05-07-2008, 03:39 PM

1 stone = 6.36 kg = 14 pounds.

I say: "If the shoe fits..." Kids are cottled too much these days. I am fat and can atleast admit it. (6'-2", 265lbs)

**eneles** · 05-07-2008, 04:34 PM

You're right.
But, the kid isn't fat - far from.
Like 0wn3d said - worse things happen at school everyday.

**beefers1** · 05-10-2008, 01:24 AM

first of all, i don't think of that as an insult, just a statement. seriously, who would actually believe the game?

Seriously, it is a video game...if video games offend you that much, you should not play them.

We have all laughed and joked about being told that we're fat and need to lose weight

So why are they suddenly so upset when a kid plays the game and gets the same result? I mean...she weighs less than my dog does!

Exactly. No one's making you play it. In fact, throw it out the window if you like.
