Not only is the demo video arguably more hilarious than the spoof video (posted first), it makes a laughable case for actually purchasing the product.  Despite the obvious faults with the product, I do approve of the direction that the Wii Fit has taken the video game industry.  Tricking kids into exercise while they play they're videogames is a step in the right direction to curb the childhood obesity trends in America.  Hopefully sometime in the future a product will be developed that is a more practical way to make kids want to exercise.  However, I've always thought that there is no substitute to playing outside...
