Dude, Your Xbox is Upside Down. Also, You're DyingPosted 2:12pm Fri Nov 30, 2007 by Aaron Dunlap Tags: health, crisps, obesity, advertisement

This couch is going to kill this kid and all the grape soda, upside-down Xbox 360, and bag of "crisps" can do is watch!

Actually, this is a clipping from a a flier being propagated by The HSC Foundation, which describes themselves as "dedicated to improving access to services for individuals with special needs who face challenging social and health care barriers." That makes more sense than a change machine.

The flier, which can be seen in full after the jump, warns that "Lack of exercise and a poor diet puts kids at serious risk for Heart Disease, Diabetes, Asthma, Joint Pain and more."

I don't disagree with that at all, but did they absolutely have to put an Xbox 360 right in the photo, where it logically should not be unless that kid has a special 25' (invisible) video cable? Wouldn't it just be enough to show him holding a game controller?

And what are "Crisps"? Clearly that bag contains potato chips, and anybody who would call them otherwise is a communist.

But seriously, folks, go play some frisbee or something because you're all looking a little doughy and I'm concerned about your health.

"Clearly that bag contains potato chips, and anybody who would call them otherwise is a communist." That or decidedly British, but what with standarized healthcare and the nanny-state attitude, I guess communism works for that too in some way.

PS: The reason the 360 isn't plugged in there is because that's a ringer that he uses as a foot rest, he bought a second one that he's actually playing on.

PPS: That kid really shouldn't be wearing shoes on white carpet.

PPPS: Nice couch.

So the controller isn't plugged in either considering it isn't wireless. There's no USB ports in the back either....????

If you look the cord actually leaves the scene just under the bag of "crisps." Obviously going to the phantom 360 as theorized in my previous post.
