Make fun of West Virginia all you want to, but they care about their kids. West Virginia reportedly has some of the highest rates of child obesity in the United States. To combat the rise of the little fatties, they’ve called on Konami’s “Dance Dance Revolution.” The state plans to put a machine in every public school and form after-school DDR clubs for dancing the pounds away.
That almost makes me want to move to West Virginia when I have kids. Almost. I have to say, this is a great idea. I’m sure that once the program gets implemented, they’ll meet with tremendous success. I hope other states follow suit. Hell, this would be a good idea at the office. I know I could use the exercise and I’m pretty sure a lot of people in the corporate workplace could use a little dancing to blow off some steam. Hmm… I think I have a quarterly initiatve for myself!
