West Virginia on the Cutting Edge

West Virginia will put the popular Dance Dance Revolution video game, along with Xbox video consoles, into all 765 public schools, to be used in physical education and health classes and the state will develop a special DDR curriculum.
I bring this up for 3 reasons:
1) A few years ago in Maine Kate and I walked by the arcade and two kids were playing(?) this game. They were incredible. They hit every step perfectly. There was a crowd of people watching. Later a movie was made about these two kids. It was called "Brokeback Mountain." Just kidding, it was an incredible performance.
2) I once read an article on childhood obesity and it said the number one way to get girls involved in exercise is through dance.
3) No wonder Billy is so skinny. He loves dancing.

The little kid in the background is aghast

The video of the fat kid doing DDR perfectly and then tripping and falling just trying to get off the damned machine is too good.
