Gov Health ad sparks gaming row
After a morning debate with my girlfriend on our young son playing games (I see it as a postive thing, she disagrees) I dread her seeing this ad :/.

...The games industry has condemned a government advert suggesting children who play computer games may die early.
The advert from the Change4Life campaign shows a boy playing a game, with the slogan "Risk an early death, just do nothing"...

Full story: BBC NEWS | Technology | Health advert sparks gaming row

Isn't it common sense to forbid your kid sitting indoors all day long playing computer games?
