If the Wii Fit was all that "engaging" we would be reading about more kids dying in China from starvation while doing the wii hula hoop game rather than from their kidneys shutting down while playing WoW for the 47th straight hour. Secondly,if Ian's closet is so full of unused excercise equipment, he should give me back that set of golf clubs I LEANT him. And I'm not sure what mutated monster foot he has, but a pair of running shoes doesn't take up that much space in my closet and I don't get bored of using them.
