How to be active without actually being active

I see over at Amazon.com that there's a new game coming this fall for the Wii called Active Life: Outdoor Challenge

Now there's an idea: Create a video game to show kids how fun it would be to actually go outside!

I love the bullet points;

• Intuitive Gameplay: Simple controls allow for quick pick up and play.
  

As opposed to real life, where one wanders outdoors and cannot think of what to do.

• Track Character's Fitness Progress: See your character's body change according to how you play!

Thank heavens you don't have to actually exercise yourself and see your own body change.

• Tremendous Replay Value: Over a dozen games, each with multiple levels of play

Wow, more than 12. You wont find that kind of variety at a playground.

I really shouldn't make fun of Amazon. They didn't write the copy. I just find the whole concept ironic. And yeah, I'll probably buy it for our Wii when it comes out.
