This is just stupid it's not Nintendo's fault that Micheal's parents failed to read the warnings.

p.s. Sorry if this is old news, I just felt like posting something important.

Yeah, they have put those warnings on the games for the last 15+ years, it's old info that everyone knows. It'll be interesting to see what happens since it is a printed warning that you are supposed to read before you play the game (as everyone always does :rolleyes2 ).

How... What's the word I'm looking for? *looks* ...LAME!

That's just retarded... ^_^

They're always in the game manuals, or at least those of the consoles themselves, how stupid.

Just another example of parents finding a scapegoat for their irresponsibilities.

"We bought junior a bag of candy and let him play in front of the tv all day. We don't know what could have gone wrong."

Nintendo versus some misc family. Gee...who's gonna win?

Seriously, do we need disclaimers for EVERYTHING?

Yes. And apparently, disclaimers don't help, since the manual for every video game i've ever bought says "VIDEO GAMES MAY CAUSE

ING SEIZURES. IF YOU'RE AT RISK, DON'T PLAY THEM IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE SEIZURES."
